| 80. A fine minor surgery set by W.F. Ford and Co., New York, the three-part wallet in red leather with nice gilding decoration. The set includes 14 pieces, including a porcelain tipped Nelaton's bullet probe. A few of the instruments are replacements. The wonderful feature of the set is a large silver presentation plate affixed to the closing flap. The engraved plaque reads: Presented to W.J.G. Dawson MD House Phys[icia]n / Lunatic Asylum N.Y. March 31st, 1868. / By the Comm[issione]rs of Public Charities & Correc[tio]n / Isaac Bell Jas. B. Nicholson O.W. Brennan / Jas. Bowen. The jeweler engraving is of the highest quality. William Joseph Gremley Dawson (1846-1918) was born in Canada and got his medical degree from the University of New York in 1867. He moved to California and had practices in San Francisco, St Helena, and Eldridge. He was affiliated with the California Home for Feebleminded Children, and died in Eldridge in 1918. Interestingly, Edmonson's directory includes a cased Cammann stethoscope by Ford that has a plaque with a presentation to another doctor by the same four commissioners and dated six months later in 1868! See Edmonson, p. 82, fig. 103. |
