Description
A very fine, signed example of Boddaert’s obstetrical lever lever with checkered ebony handle . Quoting from Dr. Anthony Tizzano’s excellent site: “Boddaert’s Lever is a simple form with a minor curve and two holes near the distal end which permit the passage of a cord (lac) thus producing traction in varying directions.” The maker is E. Joris working in Belgium, last quarter of the 19th century.
