A collection of scientific instruments, curiosa and scales

We are currently making an inventory of our dad’s collection of scientific instruments, scales, curiosa, etc. Our father, Robert De Pecker, started collecting in the seventies.

As there are quite some items of which we have no clue what the purpose is, which year they were made, who is the maker, hence this site that could help us to determine what some of the items are.

Please note that this is a work in progress…

The index numbers are not sequential but reflect the original numbering scheme father used for keeping his inventory up to date.

Please use the comment section if you have information to share concerning an object.

We did our best to allocate objects to categories for easier navigation, but please don’t pin us down on that.
