  <dc:title>Forehead Mirror and Headband in Case</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The black faux-leather cardboard telescopic box features golden ink writing "Fannin &amp; Co. Ltd. Dublin" on the lid, as well as a white label on the side reporting "Fannin &amp; Co. Ltd. Chemist &amp; Surgical Instrument Makers, 41 Grafton Street, Dublin" and additional handwritten "21/ Electric Head Light."  Inside the box, there is a forehead mirror and headband with an adjustable socket.  It features a mirror with a central fenestration on a vulcanite plate, fitting and rotating thanks to a vulcanite ball inserted into the metal socket.  Thanks to a screw, it can be adjusted and removed from the metal plate screwed into the light blue and black headband.  On the other side, internally, a cushion made of leather provides a more comfortable feature as it was placed and worn on the forehead.  One end of the headband features a buckle with two teeth to close and secure the band.  Signs of wear and tear present on mirror surface.</dc:description>
