This is an extensive surgical set with
ivory handles by Tiemann. The address is 63 Chatham St., New York. This was
the company's address from 1833-1855. A nearly identical, though less
complete set can be found in American Surgical Instruments by
Edmonson, pages 102-103. Unusual features of this set include two
separate lift out mahogany boxes. One contains a small 2 layer urology set
and the other contains a small 2 layer ophthalmology set. Both of these have
the same red velvet lining as the larger mahogany box, which has wonderful
brass bands. The tourniquet in this set is also of unusual form.
