Zimmerman / Leipzig-Berlin” and “13448” on the back; and “E. ZIMMERMANN / LEIPZIG-BERLIN” on the red leather box—refer to Emil Zimmerman, a mechanic who in 1887, after having worked for Wilhelm Wundt, professor of experimental psychology at the University of Leipzig, began selling apparatus for psychology and other sciences.
