Summary
A collection of test tubes in a wooden blue cloth-covered case, stitched at the edges, with a catch to close. There are also the remnants of a strap at either end of the case, and the lid is hinged. Inside the test tubes have individual holes in a block of wood. There are two types of tube - some are the modern straight shape at the top (without the outurned rim), some are tapered towards the top (also without a rim). There are 41 test tubes, some without corks.
