Description
Digital photograph of an electric otoscope in a purple velvet-lined case. The case has been set on a gray counter and opened to show the instrument inside. An unrolled tape measure is shown in the foreground for size comparison.
An otoscope in a case, measuring 24 x 9.5 x 5 cm. The black leatherette case is lined with purple velvet and has a metal slide/snap lock. The interior of the case is divided into compartments for each piece of the instrument. This case is for a combination auriscope and ophthalmoscope, but it lacks the latter instrument. The case contains: 1) electric auriscope with battery barrel, 2) three specula in various sizes, and 3) two Welch Allyn lamps in an envelope. The instrument is in good condition, although the battery barrel shows some signs of corrosion. The case is inscribed: Otoscope, J.C. Bartlett, M.D., ret. 1941 (Ontario, Oregon). It was donated by Bert D. Campbell, M.D., in April 1966.
