Three antique dental instruments dating from 1870, a mirror and matching probes, the probes are marked 'DMC' for the Dental Manufacturing Company the reverse of the mirror is marked '5 Boilable' indicating that these would have been made at a time when the importance of sterilisation was beginning to be recognised. The catalogue page for similar items has been taken from a late 19th century catalogue.  The three items measure 16 and 15cm in length respectively, some light scratches to the mirror, otherwise all three in good order.
