Help. We are cleaning out our lab and under the dust are all kinds of old lab gear which look very cool and expensive but can't figure out what they are for. Only clue is Stansi Chicago on some of them. Is there an old catalog or website I can go to so I can identify stuff? If I posted pictures here would anyone be able to help? What is the best way to proceed?

Yes post pictures.
 
FWIW the Stansi Scientific Company, Chicago, was taken over by Fisher Scientific in 1967, to start Fisher's education division. You might be able to get some information from Fisher, if PF doesn't answer the question.
