The second set is a German blood pressure monitoring kit, containing an aneroid sphygmomanometer with a white dial face calibrated from 0 to 300 mmHg, an inflation bulb with a chrome-plated valve, and a binaural stethoscope with grey tubing. These are contained in a black zippered leatherette pouch embossed with a shield-shaped logo containing a V and the word Germany, attributed to Visomat. The third set is a diagnostic set, attributed to Boehm, featuring a black-finished battery handle and four chrome-plated specula, housed in a black hardshell case with a blue velvet-lined interior. Additional items include three loose optical parts: a brass-mounted lens assembly, a black circular lens component, and a small black plastic protective canister.
