A set of diagnostic instruments donated by Bert Campbell, M.D., in April 1963. Not all of the instruments are original to the case. The set may have originally been an electro-therapeutic device. The instruments are housed in a black leatherette case, measuring 40 x 24 x 15 cm. The purple velvet-lined case has compartment trays in the upper and lower halves, separated by velvet liner boards. The name "J.C. Bartlett, M.D." is stamped in gold lettering on the case lid. The case contains: 1) chrome mouth gag, 2) small unfinished wood box with a sliding lid, 3) red rubber bulb syringe, 4) power pack apparatus, 5) power cord, 6) battery power pack, 7) head lamp with headband in a leather carrying case, 8) three needle probes in a cardboard tube, 9) three "Dentalamp" bulbs on a velvet card, 10) marking pencil, 11) two dental mirrors, 12) four small light bulbs, 13) clear glass lens, 14) three tongue depressors, 15) three ear specula in a chrome case, 16) two ear specula with black interior finish, 17) eyelid speculum, 18) "Spudlight" angled bulb attachment, 8 cm in length, 19) black plastic "Oralight" handle, and 20) chrome diagnostic handle. The case also contains printed instruction manuals for various pieces of equipment. The instruments and case are in fair to good condition.
