The varied offerings of Charles Lentz & Sons

There isn’t a lot of history available about the Charles Lentz & Sons company, aside from their various catalogues. They offered all manner of medical apparatus, as well as zoological and biological equipment. They were based out of Philadelphia, PA, and were one of the first United States medical equipment companies to ship “worldwide” (as it were in 1915).
