Antique colored stick hemometer in bakelite, Germany, 1930.

Germany circa 1930.

Antique colored stick haemometer. Inside its original box, with ‘Haemometr’ stamped on the lid, two hinges allowed it to be opened. Inside the blue satin padded lid a transverse ribbon blocked the folded sheet of instructions for use, ‘ Gebrauchsanweisung zum Frabstab-Haemometer’, the rest of the case is divided into compartments of various sizes with the parts of the instrument, complete. The structure containing the glass comparison bars is made of bakelite. The doctor took a small amount of blood from the patient, placed it in a transparent test tube and compared the color of the sample with the color scale of the haemometer. This comparison allowed the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood to be estimated.
