Physical description

This rectal thermometer is in a cardboard protective case which seems to be the way that it was shipped to Dr Lionel Pelham Sapsford. There is a second protective case which is metal and protects the glass thermometer itself. The glass thermometer has markings on it to indicate temperature and has some yellow from discolouration and aging.

Inscriptions & markings

Lines on thermometer of where temperature was. On the cardboard exterior there is red handwriting which says "KEEP" multiple times.
