Look what we found in an old doctors house here in Northern Maine! It’s a beautiful antique otoscope that I believe was made by the Brunton Co. This physician got his degree and began his practice from his home in 1891. His family held on to many of his medical items, including this otoscope. The original little case that is lined with purple satin. All of the pieces are in. Unpolished and original condition, maintaining the wonderful patina. With no apparent damage. Maintained his practice here in Norther Maine for over 50 years.
