THESE NEXT THREE LOTS ALL HAVE VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE MEDICAL (QUACK MEDICINE IN THE THIRD LOT (
AN EARLY WOMEN'S VIBRATOR KIT
)) & SURGICAL EQUIPMENT (IN THE FIRST TWO LOTS).  I ACQUIRED THESE FROM A RECENT ESTATE SALE, WHERE THE GENTLEMAN WAS A LONG TIME TOWN DOCTOR AND HIS WIFE WAS A NURSE.
I'LL ALSO BE LISTING LOTS MORE MEDICINES, VIALS, MEDICAL KITS, DOCTOR'S BAGS & MORE OVER THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO, SO PLEASE COME BACK FOR MORE GOODIES.

THIS LOT HAS AN OLDER SKIN GRAFTING KIT, FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER.  THE SKIN SLICER (or WHATEVER IT'S CALLED) IS MARKED AND SIGNED "ZIMMER , NO. 666, PAT. 2457772, SER. NO. 507".  IT'S MADE OF A SURGICAL GRADE OF STAINLESS STEEL AND WON'T EVER RUST (AND IS NOT MAGNETIC).  IT SHOWS VERY LITTLE WEAR AND APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE BOX IS BORDERLINE ANTIQUE, GIVEN THE WAY IT'S MADE, SO I'M REALLY STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WHOLE SET IS LIKELY ANTIQUE AS WELL.  HOWEVER, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THESE TYPES OF THINGS (MEDICAL), SO PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON THIS.
THE OUTSIDES OF THE BOX SHOW MINOR WEAR, SCRATCHES, SCUFFS, DISCOLORATION (SPOTS/STAINS, ETC.), AND ARE STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, OVERALL.  THE INSIDES ARE PRETTY MUCH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (ON THE BOX ONLY).
AS FOR THE REST OF THE CONTENTS, SEVERAL OF THE CORDS HAVE ELECTRICAL TAPE ON THEM, AS I TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PHOTOS.  SO MUCH TO SHOW AND ONLY 12 PHOTOS TO DO SO WITH.
GIVEN THE AGE OF THE CORDS, AND NOT WANTING TO RISK ANY ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO ANY OF THE COMPONENTS IN THE KIT, I CHOSE TO NOT TRY TO PLUG THE GROUP IN TO THE WALL, AND INTO EACH OTHER.  AS SUCH, I'M HAVING TO LIST THE KIT FOR "
PARTS/REPAIR
" ONLY, SINCE I CAN'T PROVE THAT IT STILL WORKS.
IN ANY CASE, I'M REALLY LISTING IT AS A COLLECTIBLE ANYWAY, SO THIS MAY NOT MATTER MUCH TO THE END COLLECTOR (OTHER THAN THEY WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO WORK, BUT DON'T INTEND TO USE IT AGAIN).
LASTLY, THE SCOTCH TYPE TAPE ON THE TOP OF THE BOX READS "BROWN DERMATOME - MOTOR & CORD & HAND PIECE (GOOD)" PLUS THE GOOD DOCTOR'S INITIALS "E.V.D."  I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS WAS "GOOD" (MEANING IT WORKS, I'M PRETTY CERTAIN), SO PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND.
AS A RULE, I DON'T ALTER OR MODIFY MY AUCTIONS TO BECOME (or ALLOW FOR) BUY-IT-NOW LISTINGS.  SO, THESE THREE WILL RUN AS AUCTIONS ONLY.  THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION

SHIPPING WILL BE
CALCULATED AND INSURED
USPS, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING
.
I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A
RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
