✅ SOLVED unusual medical device

2 glass tubes attached to rubber tubing with ivory ends . Both bulbous areas have things in them , that resemble lighter flints . The glass tubes have numbers on the side . There is no mercury , so I don't think they are thermometers .

They look like parts to measure blood pressure.

Pipette, used to draw a liquid with mouth suction.

The container says Blutkorp on it... BLUT is German from blood, so I'd assume that it's for taking blood samples.

My translation skills aint what they used to be: "blood number apparatus"

Mojjax, you better give me credit for figuring this out.

I wish there wasn't letters missing on the big long word on the box

No, no images, just the good description. But Cw0909's link shows it well and even how to use it! (Be sure it brings you to page 149, I'm not sure why it didn't the first time I clicked it)
