Description
A very good example of Traube’s pleximeter with scale. The body is bone and the hinged wings (aka: ears) are German silver with floral decoration. Length as shown in first image: 3.25″ (8 cm). A couple of rock-solid hairlines but overall in nice condition. The first image most closely captures the color of the bone. The London Science Museum has a similar example in its collection–see link below:
