Cervical dilators by Meyer and Meltzer

 
A rare set dilators which use a screw mechanism to dilate the cervix. These are usually smooth (see pics) and this is the only set I have seen of this kind. It consists of 5 graduated dilators which are attached by a locking mechanism to an introducer. In excellent condition with virtually no wear to the nickel plating. The case is in embossed leather, lined with blue velvet and silk and marked "Meyer and Meltzer 71 Great Portland St W" (who were in business from 1871). Dimensions 7 x 2.7 x 31 cm
