A fine roll of
obstetric destructive instruments by W Holzhauer of Marburg from the
turn of the century. There
are seven instruments in total, obstetric forceps (signed Holzhauer),
Kehrer's Cranioclast (signed Holzhauer), blue steeled blunt hook, a
rare ebony handled Leisnisch Kiewisch perforator,
the European precursor to Trueheart's Trephine perforator
(signed Holzhauer),
a Naegele's snapcatch perforator (signed Holzhauer),
a pair of curved serrated placenta forceps (signed Grunewald)
and Boer's craniotomy forceps (signed Holzhauer).
The instruments are held in a lined canvas roll with a central
leather support. The original ties are present but the external
carry handles are not. The superficial rusting to most of the
instruments has been removed leaving them and the roll in otherwise remarkably good
condition., |
