    Description

    Please have a look at all of my current listings.  They are part of my 50 plus years of collecting to be listed (as time permits) over the coming weeks and months.  My collection includes Antique items such as Scientific Instruments, Radios, Bottles, Barometers, Surveying Instruments, Prohibition (and Pre-Prohibition) Whiskey, Art, Books, etc.  I have fully packed storage boxes full of wonderful things that need to see the light of day once more.  I simply do not have the room anymore (just ask my wife).  It is really hard to part with my "treasures" but I find comfort knowing that they will be cared for by the new owners.  Let me know if you have any specific needs and I will try to list them.  ENJOY!!!
    Here we have two working Crookes tubes.  One is liquid filled in the center with a spiraled glass tube connecting the gas chambers on each end.  It is much older than the other tube and frankly much more valuable and scarce.  This tube is roughly 6.5" long.  Beautiful display item as seen in the photos.  This rare tube will surely find its way to the front of any fine collection.  The second tube is a later one.  Probably from a set which would have displayed different colors (different gasses).  This tube is 8" long.  Both tubes when energized are bright and have vivid colors.  The pictures tell the real story here better than I can.
    Sold as is.  Return only if not as described and shown in photos.  No Overseas/International shipping at this time.  I am still fully employed and overseas shipping consumes too much time and can create issues.  Shipping quote for lower 48 states only as others will be more.  Many Thanks.
