Antique surgical bone curette. This instrument wass used to carefully smooth bone. With a small spoon on the end of the tool similar to that of an ice-cream scoop, a curette allows the surgeon to scrape away bone. The spoon of the bone curette has durable, sharp edges. This item is still in functional condition but has surface tarnish and wear. 

Items such as this are becoming increasingly rare as they were made in very small numbers to the highest quality standards as price was not the primary concern, most good examples are now in museum and private collections.
