Description

A fine set of Murphy’s bone drills and universal brace with multiple additions from the KNY Scheerer catalogue of 1915.

Used for trepanation, this nickel set was $42.50 without the additional 6 reamers (at $3.50 each), the extra bits (elevator, etc.)  and the 10 bone plates (some blued, others plated @ $.50 each) totalling close to $100 at that time. Factoring in for inflation and depreciation of the US dollar, this equates to $3000 US today ! Wooden finger jointed box with secure latch measures 10 1/2 x 6 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches. One set of reamers/burrs (4) appears to have been used once? 6 blued screws for the bone plates also included.

All signed, numbered and with Company logo.
