I haven't been in on this discussion - merely wish to say that it sure has been interesting!

S.S.Petri Dish Box/S.S.Pippet Box


Hmmm, Wullie..me thinks my bro may be off base?  However, there can be more than one item that resembles another one......

LOL  Okay my brother started researching and found a reference to a small "brass document holder" for a ship commander...
"The small brass document holder made by GM2c Walter R. Holdridge aboard the Cruiser USS Frederick, which allows him to wear a Service Chevron contains the name of “Commander S.C. Rowan” on the bottom corner. It is simply stamped on the card, “S.C. Rowan, Commander, US Navy” but the name of Rowan holds a very rich and historical place in the pages of the history of the United States Military. At the time this small document was made on October 23, 1918, Cmdr. S.C. Rowan or Stephen Clegg Rowan was then the Executive Officer on the Armored Cruiser USS Frederick."

and also search chart tubes....or map case....

Second guessing...if indeed it was to hold a scope securely!  LOL

LOL!....this is what you said..."That would indicate to me that what it held would be in a roll form !! Lift the metal rack out, unroll what is needed. and replace !!  Stick a roll of paper towels in it and you can see what I mean" ......could be Bog roll....could be a map.....could even be for sterilising instruments...but whatever its eventual use is...its had us guessing...and searching....given us a laugh....and for me that,s what makes this place tick.... ;D

Bigwull, ...... you need to change your "signature" line.

It is not befitting of your latest postings. ;D

-------------

HA, the second that I read the word "petri" in the 1st cited link I'se said ta myself, ...... "damn, I shudda thought of that".

Many years ago I autoclaved quite a few of them in my bacteriology class. Of course we didn't use a brass container to do it in. But I can visualize why a large labratory would require such a device.
