A 14K solid gold "Wishbone"
Intra-Cervical contraceptive device. Dating from the 1920s they
ranged from the rare quality gold product to inferior devices made
from plastics and metals. If not changed monthly they tended to get
infected and American physicians often removed them from immigrant
women for this reason. Dr. Graffenberg's Intra-Uterine Ring
was initially discouraged because of confusion with these
problematic Intra-Cervical
Devices.
