If you would like to consult the Curator of Instruments about an instrument or artifact that you own, please send me an email, and if possible, include a photograph of the artifact. I prefer email inquiries over telephone calls. My email address is burba at thebakken.org ; to send me an email, replace "at" with an "@" symbol and remove any spaces. The Bakken does not provide monetary values for artifacts; if you are looking for such information, contact dealers of antique scientific and medical instruments. Here are two guides to information on dealers: http://www.surveyhistory.org/dealers.htm and http://www.americanartifacts.com/smma/index.htm
