15.  A scarce antique dental forceps-key extractor marked: BAKER & RICE / PATENTED 1845 // J. FENTON / COLUMBUS [OHIO].  The instrument is a combination of the attributes of the an extracting forceps and a toothkey.  Squeezing the grip controls the claw, an action which must be done with a finger to the claw on a regular toothkey.   This dealer is aware of only one other example of a Baker and Rice patented dental forceps-key.  John Fenton was active in Columbus from 1843 to 1863, as cited in Edmonson, p. 250.

    17.  A c. 1830 antique monaural Piorry stethoscope.  The body is cedar and the earpiece and pleximeter are ivory.

  18.  A very rare c. 1880s albumen photograph of the shop of the surgical instrument maker Frederick Haslam at 83 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn.   Edmonson shows no such photographs of nineteenth century surgical instrument maker's premises.  See Edmonson, p. 211.

  19.  A lavishly engraved c. 1750 spring lancet with its original leather case. Both sides of the brass body of this bloodletting antique are engraved with decorative floral motifs and a triple border. The iron trigger bar is cut with additional fluid flourishes. The blade is original and representative of an early slender v-shape. The case is original and shows great age. This is one of the nicest examples of this type of lancet that this dealer has seen.

  20.  A c. 1850s antique trephine set by Max Wocher, Cincinnati
