Description

This 32-ounce (1 quart / 1 liter) glass graduate is a mid-century darkroom staple. Featuring a bold black circular Kodak logo, it was designed for heavy-duty professional and enthusiast use. The glass is notably thick and heavy, intended to withstand the temperature shocks of mixing hot and cold chemistry. It features a comprehensive dual-measurement system: Imperial (ounces and fractions of a pint) on one side and Metric (cubic centimeters and liters) on the other. Unlike the apothecary-style bottle previously cataloged, this beaker was the "mixing bowl" of the darkroom, used to dilute stock solutions into working-strength developers and fixers. Its pristine condition and intact enamel markings make it a highly collectible piece of functional Kodak history.
