I go to antique malls and buy old medical kits, bags, boxes, devices, etc.. and either resell on eBay, or add to my collections of old equipment. These were in an old physician's bag.

What are these items:

Cool, thanks. I actually searched Google images for about an hour. I've also "resized" the images at the source.

The brass doohickey that looks sort of like a tire gauge might be a pleximeter?

I'm almost thinking those are embalming tools instead of surgical tools. :unsure:

Cool stuff though! Don't post too much more of this kind of thing, or I'll start spending way too much money on eBay again.

#5 is like a magnified scope of some sort, no light. Maybe for looking into the eyes? #6 is some sort of Ophthalmic device. There were lots of probes and forceps. #2 is some type of scissors with forceps on the other end. Who knows, they were on a table with military stuff. Got some tins and powders from WWII.

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.
