Final Pix from Duke Maulsby Prospecting Kit

[sandtrout]

There's some stuff outside the box in one of the pix...it's a test tube rack, some charcoal blocks, and a bent tube (pipette) to direct flame by blowing.

Next time I'll post pix of the books (stapled booklets).

Had 4 hours of Geology while in college, as my major was in Agriculture. Geology was by far the class I enjoyed the most and had the most interest in. Should have changed my major then. Too old now to correct that mistake.

The 'box of death' I spoke of in the first Duke thread is the one pictured here. I am hesitant to tell my friend of it, I don't want to give my books back Maybe I will have to see if he will just sell it to me instead

Here's some of the paperwork that came with it...took me awhile to convert it from a tiff file to a jpeg file because I'm sloooooowwww when it comes to computers.

***When going through some boxes from the attic of my grandfather's, I came across one of these kits (chemicals had to go!) along with the paperwork etc., and several letters from Duke to my grandfather. Very interesting

Brings back memories, I had one of those kits when in California back in the early 70's. Got another one years ago from,
