Antique Scientific Instruments
Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2004 2:55 pm
Cool that you have a science section here at FG..... my husband and I collect antique microscopes, compasses, sextants & octants, drafting instruments, surveying instruments, planetariums,lunariums, tripensees, antique medical instruments, electro static devices.., scales.. basically anything cool looking
Here are some of our antiques.. We have about 250 separate items and besides displaying them around the house, we occasionally rent them to movie companies for props in motion pictures. We have had our antiques in The Time Machine, U-571, The Cell, Anne of Green Gables and a couple of others. It is a neat experience when the set designers come to 'shop'
We moved recently and it was a nightmare packing these things... more than half of them have not seen the light of day siince we moved... they get very dusty too!! LOL Those swiffer dry clothes are my best friend
