Beautifully match phantom head and teeth set both from around C.1920's. I have collected many dental teeth sets and these are quite rare to come by. The orthodontic teeth set is the last I have. These are incredibly hard to find and come set with aluminum metal teeth.

. Comes on a custom steel stand as shown.

The last two group photo shots show other phantoms have listed separately on the website. Take a look at our current collection.

The 1890’s Keystone device was used to test eyes with an instrument and has an illuminated milk glass opening where different transparent overlays were clipped on. Consists of an aluminum base that tilts a clip board with a milk glass opening. Behind the board is a mounted light source that can be turned on in the back (was rewired by someone recently black cord).

I thought this would make a cool side light and you can clip transparencies, film strips , or just photos.

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.

Last picture shows scale of the model next to a 6’ tall manikin wearing the Apollo LCVG garment ( listed and sold separately)

Measures: Base is 14” x 9.5” x 1.5” H overall height of piece on stand is 44.5”

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.

This early lunar globe (and the only one ever produced by Crams) dates from 1969. The globe was produced until the early 70’s but what makes this one unique is that no landing sites are noted so it was produced before the lunar landing. The ones subsequently produced indicate landing sites and years (Apollo 11 and 12). These early globes are nice to see because much information is missing and still evolving during this time especially on the dark side of the moon. It is nice to see how the mapping process has come alone over the years with lunar exploration.

Globe is 10.5” in diameter and stands 11.5” H

comes with original metal stand and has two school tags on the top of the globe and base—very good vintage condition

Vecabe’ produced these beautiful dental models in the 1920’s that were used for training purposes. Each tooth is fired enamel and is held by a pin system that aligns perfectly to make a correct bite. The model is silver plated and has signs of oxidation but when you take the teeth out you can see the original luster. The top of the mouth flips in a horizontal position and it is held by the rear of the stand. This piece is serial 12163 (with original matching numbered box) and these unique training models are very scarce and hard to come by.

This extra special set—the first I have acquired complete with original box with many teeth of varying procedures done in silver and gold (I believe it is brass and some white metal) . There are so many attachments for the teeth such as partials done in various metals and filling work of many types — also several false teeth. All of these pieces are specific to this training set and can fit the mouth to simulate the needed procedure for study . The box is in great shape with clean blue velvet which is a striking display when opening the box. The mouth can change ‘looks’ as desired from perfect to a well abused mouth.

You may know my affinity for the Operay Multibeam operating light so I try to find old photos that feature it in action. This rather large 11” x 14” image was printed professionally by the photographer using the original 1950’s negative that features an operating amphitheater with a large group of doctors observing the procedure in Portland.
