SORRY repost, I wanted to change the title of my other post
Teak wooden device with glass for containing acids and carbon(?) rod
Golden name plate (1.6 gr) says 'J.A.F. Best instrumentmaker Leeuwarden' (The netherlands)
Dimensions (without steel handle)
Height: 11.5cm
Witdth: 13cm
Depth: 13cm
Materials:
Bakelite, teakwood, steel, copper and gold. (18.2 gr in total nameplate included)
The two conductors above the acid are made of gold.
Hidden Under the name plate is a very tiny logo with a lightbulb the text says 'schutz marke' (Registered name in German)
Alot of traces from using it on it. even on the golden name plate and inside of the case. Also the bottom side of the gold is deteriated from the acids used.
It has 2 tiny locks, one of them 'hidden' Only visible when the case is opened. no keys.
Nice to show, but I am also interested, has anyone more info?
About the materials used to make electricity, how they used it, and wwhat it would be worth. not sure if it s worth taxation and insuring it.
Thanks in advance
