    Description

    This auction is for three separate sets of Melting Point Apparatus temperature chemicals.
    I may be wrong but I believe all these sets are designed to be used on a Kofler or Hot bench to help determine the melting point of various organic substances.
    I’m not sure if these would be considered to be collectible or useful.
    They are all varying degrees of vintage.
    Here’s what you get:
    One box of Reichert Wien corked vials.
    Looks like German but these say Kofler right on the box.
    All but three appear full and the three have just a bit missing.
    One wooden block holding ten bottles with plastic lids from Arthur Thomas Co.
    They’re all marked “Scientific Apparatus“ All of these bottles appear about half full except for two which are intentionally empty.
    One lot of seven plastic tubes containing Tempil Pellets.
    These all appear to be unused.
    Most of the temperatures are visible on the photos.
    I found this collection of minerals at an estate sale of a scientist who worked on the
    Manhattan Project
    .
    The gentleman appeared to live alone and was very much still involved in science, specifically microscopes.
    Please check the photos to confirm what you are bidding on.
    Feel free to
    ask
    me questions or to request additional photos.
    I have other interesting items from this same scientist listed concurrently so please check my other auctions.
