    Description

    From my Medical Collection
    : Here we have a
    RARE Early 1800's, Surgeon's 'Tiny' Digit Phalanges Bone Bow Saw, only 5-1/2" Long !!
    .
    This example does not have a maker's name.  But we can tell that t
    his instrument is from the pre-sterilization period (before approx. 1895) as evident by the use of natural materials and the lack of totally smooth surfaces in the design of the instrument.  The checkered handle is good condition with no chips or breaks, but is does have a short, tight, stable, hairline, age-related crack on the bottom surface (see pic).  The handle is firmly attached to the shaft.  The metal surfaces are clean with minor corrosion marks. The bow frame and blade are nice and straight.
    These tiny saws are RARE and this one would make a great addition to a Collection !!
