An early 20th century dental
file used to separate teeth. Works on a similar
principle to a miniature hack saw but the teeth are
very much finer and the length of the blade is only
30mm. Tightening the screw at the and of the handle
pulls the blade taught or allows it to be loosened and
removed. The handle is made from Bakelite. The
instrument is signed with an unknown makers mark. The last
picture shows a similar 19th century example with an
ivory handle. |
