Boley Gauge
notes: label: Description
content: G. Boley was a German tool maker with a shop in Wurtemburg in the second half of the nineteenth century. Dentists found that the Boley gauge, apparently designed for watchmakers, was useful for measuring the dimensions of teeth and the spaces between them. The "L.B.S. Co., Athol, Mass, U.S.A." inscription on this example refers to a silver-plate firm that was established by Lawrence B. Smith in Boston in 1887.
