Metal gauze
Six rolls of metal gauze, one is packaged in a cardboard tube, all are in a bag.
This gauze comes from a 15-drawer cabinet found in the Herschel family home in the 1950s. The contents of this and a similar cabinet seem to suggest that they were used by successive generations of the family to store specimens, material and apparatus for carrying out experiments. These rolls of metal were presumably used by John F.W. Herschel or his children as the raw materials for experiments.
