Description
GOOD REPLICA LAENNEC STETHOSCOPE, 20th century. Turned of a fine dense hardwood, the 13″ x 1-3/8″ (33 x 3.5 cm) stethoscope conforms well to the dimensions published by the inventor in 1819 (and see Tesseract Catalogue 34 Item 8), The earpiece and the pectoral bell are gently concave. The bell can be removed as desired, and the stethoscope pulls apart in the center for ease of transport. Very fine.
