A French masticator to aid the chewing
of food in the elderly and edentulous. This is a remarkably well put
together instrument; the metal is steel and the handles are I think
horn. The teeth are held together in the resting state by a sprung
clip which secures the ends of the handles. Signed on the inside of
one handle "Masticateur Carrier" and on the other "A Aubry Bd. St
Michel 6. Paris Brevete". It packs away in a typically French
etui. I doubt you will see a finer masticator.
