Dutch 1920s Large Study Case with Collection of 48 Minerals and Rocks Specimens
Date: 1920s
PRICE: SOLD
Dimensions: H 7cm W 57cm D 41cm
Shipping: $ 80
A large fascinating suitcase or box with handles containing a 'homemade' mineral and rock collection with old handwritten Dutch label. It contains 48 specimens found all over Europe.
Two numbers are not filled in (5 and 18) and I think number 17 is not Krijt (chalk) but a Sandrose.
This now would look great in a curiosity cabinet or Wunderkammer.
