A comprehensive antique tracheostomy set housed in its original metal storage box. This set provides a fascinating glimpse into early 20th century surgical practice.
 
Included in this set:
A selection of tracheostomy tubes, each marked with sizing details, demonstrating the variety required for clinical procedures, not marked but testing as silver.
 
Essential surgical tools, including a scalpel marked with a distinct maker's hallmark (a diamond-enclosed symbol), retractor, and forceps.
 
The original metal case, designed for the durability and sterilisation requirements of the era.
 
This collection is in authentic, as-found condition, perfect for display in a medical museum, a collector’s study, or as a unique conversation piece. The combination of the specialised tubes and the accompanying surgical tools makes this an exceptionally complete and visually striking example of vintage medical history.
 
The catalogue page showing a very similar set was taken from the Charles Thackray catalogue for 1900.
 
Please review the attached photographs carefully to assess the condition and the details of the items included.
