These photos came from a hospital and were displayed in one of the halls. Very eerie and great with the dramatic lighting of the Blood Warmer and Anesthesia machine brings great comfort to the patient going in for a procedure. I really like these and they are an instant award winning album art. Each photo measures 20” x 24” and is printed on Kodak paper with rich vibrant color. The photos are in good vintage condition and the blood warmer photo has had some restoration touch up on a surface scratch that is rather subdued.

This vintage 3M pelvis phantom was used by a retired X-ray technician and was in his personal collection for many years. These models are used in training and X-ray positioning and calibration. They allow students as well as technicians to run actual tests without exposing the patient. These are such great teaching tools because the student will get an actual X-ray and get familiar with the process before working on a patient.

I gave the piece a good cleaning and buff polish. It has age old scuffs and wear that you would expect for a piece that has been used since the 1960’s. I show what this piece looks like in various light conditions—natural light and a spot light from above. If this piece is displayed with a light above it glows and is a rather dramatic display. It changes throughout the day with different light and the way it travels through the resin is reminiscent of an old classical grecian statue.

This wind tunnel model is unusual in that it has the original mounting bar that they used as they were creating the aircraft. From what I have researched it is most likely an X-type model prototype. The model is made of steel and aluminum with signs of bondo type sculpting compound used to shape certain areas as they were testing the aerodynamics. The mounting bar has all the small wires that were attached to the craft to collect data. This model is most likely from the late 1950’s—quite a heavy piece the model and base together weighs 85 lbs. I have acquired other wind tunnel testing components listed separately. All of these came from a collector and were acquired from NASA AMES wind tunnel testing facility.

Vault of the heavens large lucite globe (36” diameter) consist of a 6” earth at the center that is suspended on a shaft that can be controlled by a knob at the bottom. The universe sphere is printed with celestial bodies through and technical markings to set coordinates to the earth. A valuable tool that is often used in naval training to show how one can find positions using the stars.

This model is quite a rare sized one— mainly made for institutions like schools or government offices. Although some of the smaller sizes can be found locating a 36” globe is quite tough to find, especially this earlier 1963 model.

I had to locate some missing components for this globe to complete it and now it is restored . The acrylic base is an authentic Farquhar base for a medium globe but works well for this larger globe (as a static display)—this is the only part that slightly different than its intended base but I like that it is acrylic and matches the globe.

Some scuffs on the outer acrylic but typical with age and not distracting from the object. The acrylic sphere is in very good condition and can come apart in two halves if disassembly is needed. Some metal components have signs of oxidation and have been lightly oiled to condition the metal . Comes as shown.

Very cool graphically and with lens demonstrations of how glasses get processed. The lens display is on a thick cardboard that would most likely be on a counter at an eyeglass place. The last inspections slot we added a 1940’s Galenski prosthetic for extra visual effect. Looks good to us. Measures: 13.5” H x 10” W
