Hernstein & Son Civil War Leather Pocket Surgery Kit
This pocket surgery kit by Hernstein & Son is dated by the maker label address which puts it during the Civil War and the fact that the label shows '& Son', which is only in the Civil War period. Hermann Hernstein & Son (Hermann and Albert L. Hernstein) 1862-65: 131 Mercer and 393 Broadway, New York.
The tooled leather case is in obviously poor condition, but almost all the instruments are present and they are marked Hernstein or Hernstein & Son, making them solid Civil War vintage.
