PHILIPS'
POPULAR MANIKIN OR MODEL OF THE HUMAN BODY An illustrated representation with full and descriptive letterpress. Edited by William S. Furneaux. Printed in England by George Philip & Son, Ltd, 32 Fleet Street, EC4 (LONDON). Contents include the Skin, the Skeleton, the Muscular System, the Heart and Blood Vessels, the Respiratory System, the Urinary Apparatus, the Nervous System, the Organs of the Senses. The paper model at the back is in good shape. You simply keep peeling, through the skin, through the rib cage, the lungs, heart and digestive system through to the back of the body. No date but there is an original owner's signature & date written to the title page in ink "Svend Iversen, October 1927". My photos show the paper mannequin at the back but the other 16 pages also have detailed illustrations. In fine condition, all complete, minor age wear & foxing and the digestive system is loose, but complete. 16 pages and very long, approximately 19" x 8". |

SIEBE GORMAN Fabulous vintage Siebe Gorman bellows, used to supply air to the Smoke Helmet. Circa 1850/1950. One metal tag is still present; it reads : Everything for Safety Everywhere Siebe Gorman & Co. Ltd Neptune Works Chessington, Surrey Manufacturers of Mine and Industrial Safety Appliances It also has a small round tag marked Serial No B1526 and has a number engraved on the wooden base (1 22085). Unfortunately the "Code of Signaling by Means of Lifeline" tag is missing and so is the pedal. The bellows are in working conditions but could do with a good clean/polish. The spring is rusty but does its job and there are the odd woodworm holes (not live) - as can be expected for its age. Overall size is approximately 20 1/2" long, 10 1/2" wide and 11 1/2" tall. |
