Small cardboard box, 11cm by 7cm with a height of 5cm containing the following:
A small round know with screw on the end, diameter of 2cm.
Small metal allen key, painted black.
Small round headed brush, wooden handle painted black with 4L carved on the side, handle 7cm long and no thicker than 2cm at its widest. Base of the bristles are heald in by a metal band, 2.5cm high and no thicker than a few mm, around the whole head of the brush. "Whiting Adams, Boston USA", is carved into the metal. The bristles themselves are black, 3cm long and shaved so that the tip of the brush is large and rounded.
The box also contained a small yellow tinted glass jar with a black lid. The jar is cylindrical with a diameter of 1cm. It contains what appears to be 2 cotton balls and a piece of metal, but i am not positive.
Box contained a small gray leather pouch which contained an analog measuring device with numbers running clockwise from 90 at the 1 o'clock position, and 10 at the 11 o'clock position. The face of the dial has: ' tabers toughness test for plastics" written on it. The dial is set in a heavy metal base that looks as though it was meant to attach to another object. There is also a plastic concave circle in the pouch, could have been a cover for the face of the dial.
Box also contains a note i cannot read written in pencil on paper.Collection
