Description
What you see here is cased set of four gold-plated tracheotomy tubes or cannula. Apart from the gold plating, what is notable about the set is that one tube is an adjustable dilator. Edmundson shows an identical set, by the same maker, on p. 59 of his, AMERICAN SURGICAL INSTRUMENT MAKERS (1997). The maker is C.W. Kolbe, who worked in Philadephia between 1880-1900. Case lacks lid and the screw mechanism on the adjustable tube is tight but o/w vg.
