In as found condition. Only cleaned the dust from it. Please review photos carefully and feel free to ask any questions. I’ve taken the liberty of listing some examples of what I’ve found in the photo links as well. Here are some words a collectors website has to say about it. In addition to phenic acid it was discovered that the vapors of formic aldehyde (formalin) also had a strong antiseptic power however these gases were toxic by inhalation; devices like the one presented below were built for the sterilization of the operating rooms: at regular intervals the rooms were hermetically closed for 12- 24 hours, the appliances were turned on and the environment was saturated with formalin vapors. Large apparatus for the disinfection of operating rooms or large rooms of the company Aesculap Schering, for its shape and height (45 cm) had been nicknamed “the lighthouse”. It is composed of a metal base on which a 7-burner alcohol lamp rests, then follows a truncated-conical structure that supports a black wooden cylinder crossed from side to side by numerous holes. The formalin tablets were probably distributed over the holes and sublimated by the effect of the underlying heat. It is a fairly rare device, its construction should date back to the late 1800s.

IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON POST OFFICE COSTS PLEASE MESSAGE ME. Sorry it was a partly cloudy day when pictures were taken so the color & focus are off in the gallery images above. Late 1800s vintage brass antique HEELE – BERLIN Spectroscope. This is something I do not know much about. I took pictures from all sides to show what I see. I tried to take some pictures thru the lens and make some adjustments just to show some colors. The rack & pinion works on the one lens unit. I was told that the Heele – Berlin units like this one are sought after & harder to find. There is some tarnish & wear to the brass but overall looks to be in “G” good condition. It is heavy and interesting. The item “Late 1800s vintage brass antique HEELE BERLIN Spectroscope” is in sale since Saturday, March 16, 2019.
