A wooden backstaff (or Davis quarter) unsigned made in England circa 1750.

By
Comments Off on A wooden backstaff (or Davis quarter) unsigned made in England circa 1750.
A wooden backstaff (or Davis quarter) unsigned, composed of two arcs: the sight vane arc is numbered 0-25° and 65-90°, the smaller arc is divided into 62°. Facing the Sun, it indicates its height above the horizon, but the originality of the instrument was to obtain the same result using it backwards. The lens added on the sliding sight of the little arc was imagined around 1770 in order to be used in case of cloudiness. Under optimum conditions the accuracy Read More...

18th Century Combination Spoon and Ear Scoop

By
Comments Off on 18th Century Combination Spoon and Ear Scoop
A most unusual combination: a spoon and ear scoop. This iron instrument was probably made in England or the USA  during the the second half of the  the 18th century. One might think it a medicine spoon  but the bowl is small for that use and the piece has an earlier feel. Spoons specifically made for medicine are a 19th-century innovation, with Charles Gibson, of Gibson spoon fame, usually credited for introducing the first.  Length: 8.5″ or 21.5 cm.   Read More...
