Artifacts are items which are not strictly books, ephemera, photography, or original art but are in some way connected to the field of Antiquarian STEM. They might be early slide rules, microscopes, philosophical apparatus, or other objects used or kept by scientists or engineers.
Some of these items we also list on book sites, but most are listed on Kuenzig Books only. We also list some on ebay and a specialty scientific website called fleaglass which we are members of. Much of what we have in this area is NOT listed anywhere. So if you are a fan, let us know!
