Elevators were used to pull up the
bone from around depressed skull fractures. This also
double as a rasp to scrape soft tissue from the bone
and as a scalpel (trephine). The identifying picture
is from Charles Lentz and Sons (Est 1886) 7th surgical
catalogue. There is minimal early corrosion on the
crosshatched handle but it is otherwise in very good
condition. There is no makers mark. It dates to the
turn of the century.
