Antique blood letting tool Benjamin Wharton Lancet

Post by unclepaulie »

Wanted to share what I think is a cool find. Based on a quick search this is a 1820-1850 era blood letting tool made by a New Hampshire based maker Benjamin Wharton. Cow(?) horn scales.

Fine condition for such an old piece!
