Obstetric Vectis with Ebony Handle

 
A rare 19th C obstetric vectis used to facilitate obstructed and delay labour in a similar way to forceps, but because there was only the one blade they were often referred to as "Levers". It has a fine solid crosshatch ebony handle handle and the metalwork is in excellent condition. Signed "W.E.FORD.NY"
