...ummm....nice. Except for the syringes, it looks like those high-school science lab tables.
Hmmmm shottie...
I certainly wouldn't leave that kind of stuff around.
Sorry, these are actually pipettes, for dispensing liquids, not syringes
They're really nice looking too... Brass, maybe?
Quin, I was going to say, that ball on the end doesn't look like any syringe I've seen. Pipettes would make more sense, although there still doesn't seem to be any demarcations on the side? Still, that's a funky-looking piece of equipment!
This gives me the creeps for some reason!
wow that one looks really old to me
To be technical, those are syringes. Syringes may or may not have needles on the end. A pipette is more of a dropper, while a syringe is defined by possessing a plunger which creates suction.
I like the syringes that DON'T come with needles...
But hey, that's just me.
It looks like theres syringe ends in the tube behind it. . .
"...ummm....nice. Except for the syringes, it looks like those high-school science lab tables."

With the syringes, it looks exactly like my high school science lab tables.
i agree with Viveka, they seem to be syringes. Pipettes have a bulb thing at the top of them which is pressed together to draw liquid up. Syringes have plungers. I wonder what was in them?
The syringe appears to be propped up on tubes of needles that would attach to the syringe, therefore classifying it as a syringe and not a pipette.
Maybe it was a more advanced, really old type of syringe.
just saw this one, sooo unique! Great close-up too! almost looks like it has a wooden barrel and a ceramic top!
sketchy syrgines
Actually those are two different types of pipets. In the background are three plastic wrapped disposable large volume pipets used to dispense from 1 milliliter up to 10 or 20 milliliters. The metal brass colored pipet has a disposable plastic barrel and the needles are the blunt tips that attach to the plastic barrel. This pipet is used to deliver highly precise volumes of blood/serum or reagent chemicals used in lab tests. It's actually made of anodized aluminum. That particular model seems to be type used in the 70's. It's amazing to me it was left behind because they are very expensive due to the required precision. The plastic disposable pipets are a more recent development. Sorry, don't mean to over analyze, but these types of shots are part of what attracts me as well as the great art shots.
i spy needles.
