Place Made: London, England. Materials: Leatherette outside, lining black inside, Bakelite instrument itself. 17 cm x W. 9 cm x D. Outside of case was originally stamped on the top in gold lettering Hawksley CRISTA London (now very worn but still legible). Blood measuring device in black has stamped on it in gold writing Hawksley Crista London. SAHLI 100%=14GRAMS Hb PER 100 C. Original glass tube that sits in this device with graduations on it and the Hawksley Sahli name engraved on it. Black round container with a screw off top and a glass tube inside. Small glass tube with a cork in it. One round glass stick that looks like a mixing, or stirring device. Glass and opaque glass tube connected with a rubber tube (good condition) to a smaller glass tube at the other end of it. Written on the tube is Hawksley London 20CMM. Glass tube with a rubber squeezy bulb on the end. The rubber bulb is hard (complete) but it has not perished. This would explain it being Bakelite which was in any event phased out during World War 2. See all 3 photos.
SET OF 3 PRE-1900 LARYNGOLOGICAL SURGICAL TOOLS. Uncertain date of manufacture but certainly 19th century. The mouth spreader and tonsil guillotine are both fully functional. The adenoid guillotine is frozen in its current position and will require some lubrication and/or effort to get the slider to move again. Mouth spreader spans 7 inches, with a maximum 2 inch spread. The two guillotines are each 9 inches in length. Note that the tonsil guillotine is the device with the ring on both ends, while the adenoid guillotine has a ring on one end and a half-circle box on the other. Condition: Each of the tools shows a scattering of tarnish. The tonsil guillotine has three small spots where the chrome has been scraped off the surface of the underlying iron.
It’s mind blowing how far we’ve come in technological advances in healthcare. Even crazier that we’ve gone down in life expectancy. This is an old school ultrasound. It powers on and the needle moves. But not sure it works fully or is accurate. It’s in used condition. It has wear, paint scratches, rust (especially on the bottom), some dings and scuffs. So not new and shiny like hospital equipment is now a day. But a really cool piece of history. Please see photos for condition. Thanks and have an amazing day.
