Item Description
11x19x3.75" deep painted (blue) metal trifold case opens to 11x57" wide and contains A.C. Gilbert Co. 1950s set No. 15 (as marked inside). Lid has illustrated label showing boy in laboratory performing experiment. Label has slight lift at bottom and is o/w VF. Case has some scattered wear in the form of paint nicks/scratches and has some small areas of bare metal showing. Inner bottom left corner of left section has moderate area of oxidation, and some scattered oxidation to exterior. Fine overall. Each section of case has two or three metal shelves holding a total of 63 amber glass jars w/metal screw caps, each having label on front noting chemical contents as well as 23 cork-stoppered glass vials (in metal racks), also w/labels and an assortment of laboratory equipment including ceramic mortar and pestle, glass tubes/pipettes/beaker/vials, magnet and even a metal scale. One section holds "Fun With Chemicals" illustrated booklet and "Gilbert Mineralogy, Gilbert Glass Blowing" and "Gilbert Chemical Magic" manuals as well as small envelopes containing material for experiments. Some chemicals contained within cork-stoppered glass vials have aged and some exhibit leaking, resulting in aforementioned areas of oxidation. Glass dropper's rubber bulb has hardened w/age, becoming misshapen. Despite these issues, components appear unused and show lt. aging/dust soiling. Fine-VF overall. This large and impressive set is rare, especially as complete and unused. Barry Lutsky Collection.
