Noinsurance unless requested. THANKS!A very very rare Geissler tube used for illuminating the throat. This beautiful "Y" shaped tube was used as a light source to examine the back of the throat.
The light source is a very fine striated UO glass coil, the OD of the tubing is about 1/16"!!!
The tube sits in a glass protector and was held in place by tar poured over shredded wood. The tar has shrunk and the tube can be easily pulled out.
When not in use , the tube is stored in a turned wooden base.Originally the tube has platinum loops and they were broken off flush with the tube. Repro brass caps were added to the tube so it can be safely run.
