Description
FINE BLOWPIPE, possibly German, 19th century, made of clear lacquered brass, 10″ (25 cm) long, with removable nozzle and turned bone mouthpiece. Very finely constructed, likely a Lingke manufacture, the blowpipe is in very fine condition. In use one blows a fine high speed stream of air into a flame, richly oxygenating the combustion and creating much higher temperatures capable of melting or vaporizing or oxidizing or reducing samples, when performing chemical and mineral analysis.
