Description
PLEASE IGNORE COOKIES MESSAGE UNDER IMAGES. A scarce pair of Lancaster’s 1901 dental forceps/post puller that was patented on July 2, 1901: # 677,577 . Length: approximately 7.75″ or 19.25 cm. The primary purpose of the forceps was to pull crown posts–see patent description included among the images. It is a beautifully made and complex instrument that is marked with the patent date. The discrepancy between the patent drawing and the actual forceps is something often seen as a result of changes that had to be made when an instrument went into mass production. It is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition.
