 Description Shipping and payments
This auction is for a A.C. Gilbert Company (maker of chemistry sets) book titled Gilbert Home Chemistry. I'm definitely selling this as a collectible, as I don't think you'd want your kids to attempt some of these experiments. This 28-page softcover booklet was published in 1954 and is 7.75 x 10".

The contents are fascinating (if you're a science geek, which I am). It starts with a list of household items and their chemical compositions (see below). Then, the sections that follow give information and experiments in a wide variety of areas, for example:
  • Christmas Experiments at Christmas Time (colored fireplace flames from blue vitriol, copper sulfate, potassium permanganate, boric acid, and more!)
  • The Chemistry of Food
  • Home Kitchen Chemistry (testing silver plate, coloring soap with cochineal solution, dissolving grease)
  • Ink (recipes for blue, black, purple, carmine, green, and more inks)
  • Fermentation
  • Essential Oils and Perfumes (making rose water, geranium water, lilac water, making incense)
The booklet has some wear, but it's a great science collectible!

The not-so-fine print:
  • I charge only exact shipping costs (postage plus packing materials such as Tyvek envelopes, stiffened envelopes, etc). I ship by the USPS.
  • Payment must be received within 5 days of the auction close.

Thanks for viewing my auction!
