A well
fashioned French antique dental model by Vecabé. The
full set of teeth are made from enamel and would have been painstakingly crafted and fired
individually. Each one is secured to the mandible with
brass pin and can be removed. They fit together perfectly to form an
anatomically correct bite. The heavy metal block opens
through 180 degrees to allow detailed inspection. On the upper
surface is engraved "Vecabé Brevet
D'invention 675996 SGDG Modèle D'Examen Destiné a
L'Art Dentaire Brevets Dans Touts Les Pays Civilisés
12032". Dates to the 1920's.
