Blackbee's vaginal speculum

 
A beautiful example of a rare Blackbee's speculum. It is unusual to find one of these with the original wooden ring. This ring was used to constrict the "blades" of the wire frame during insertion into a cylindrical shape. When in position in the vagina the wooden ring would be pulled back and the metal frame would expand back into its resting expanded state.
