I got a pair of bronze Roman forceps used in surgery. What a cool thing!

A 19th century French catheter, how exciting!

A hernia bistoury. Which has also taught me the word 'bistoury'. Cool.

Not very good at uploading.

I had a crystal glass.

What a fun site. I can see myself whiling away a few hours on it.

Underwhelmed by my spring. Just a metal spring. No idea what it was for.

For those who are getting a blurry blue image, you have to click on it. Then it will show properly

MsAwesomeDragon · 17/01/2021 21:46

Another one. I don't really know what a cupping set is, but it looks interesting.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/01/2021 21:46

Or click on the collection number.

I think people are discovering the site. It's definitely getting slower. But that adds to the suspense. Grin

Ah! Thanks @WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo. This looks a lot better.

I think cupping is to draw out ' bad stuff'. You light a taper in it to create a partial vacuum and then stick it on the skin. Gruesome.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/01/2021 21:48

oh and you prick holes in the skin first.

The cupping and scarificator things are for blood letting. The scarificator makes lots of clean cuts in the skin, then the cups are heated and put over to create a vacuum and draw out the blood.
