Description: 8×4.5×1.75” black box with purple velvet lining. Contains 4” mirror, leather headband, handle for holding mirror by hand, gutta percha syringe, two brush holders, brush, four mirrors and two otoscope tubes. Two pieces are marked Germany the others have no markings, it appears some of the contents may be later than the box? This was among the items included in the contaminated carton of medical antiques that I bought at auction in 1983.
