A late 19th Century nickel plated tri-valve vaginal speculum with crosshatched ebony handles of the Neslon type. The instrument is signed 'Zorn NY' (New York). There is minor loss of plating on the lower blade but the instrument is otherwise in very good condition and perfect working order. The handles are joined with an adjustable and graduated bar secured with a screw which allow the blades to be held open at various angles.
