59.  A fine 1860s antique dental  pelican with arm signed COLLIN [PARIS].  The body of the instrument was carved from a piece of horn and the single arm is easily removed for cleaning and storing.  This is probably one of the last pelicans made, and it post-dates a Charriere pelican illustrated in Bennion, Dental Antiques, p. 36.

60.  A hand-illustrated Ottoman Turk scene of a minor surgery.  The doctor holds the patient's left wrist and is possibly checking the pulse or for a break.  (No wound is apparent.)  Note the instruments and containers spread out in the foreground.

61.  An autographed photograph of Christian Barnard, M.D. (1922-2001).  Dr. Barnard was a noted heart surgeon from South Africa.  He performed the first human heart transplant, in 1967, and made medical history.  The signature is quite clear and the black-and-white photo measures 5" x 7".

62.  A c. 1860 tintype of William Johnson Turner,  Smyth County, Virginia.  Turner was involved with medicine in the war, working as a Confederate hospital steward in Richmond and Chattanooga, and he served  as a druggist at Petersburg for a period in 1864.  He took medical classes at the Medical College of Virginia that same year.  Turner originally enlisted in the famous "Bloody Half Hundred" - the 50th Virginia Infantry - when it was assembled at Wytheville as part of Gen. Floyd's Brigade.  Several companies then became part of the 8th Virginia Cavalry, CSA, which has been called one of the "fightingest" units of the entire Confederate army.
