notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Gundlach and Son crucibles. A set of five nested triangular-shaped (stoneware?) jars with maker's name on outer jar. "Gundlach and Sohn / [??]almerode". Ernst Gundlach (1834-1908) founded "Ernst Gundlach & Sohn, Elektrotechniker” in Berlin in 1905. This appears very similar to a set of six "conical form" nested crucibles advertised in the 1918 Electro Importing Company catalog. (See page 123 for item GE2154.) One crucible may be missing. Original price was $0.75 for the set.
