18th Century Medical Syringe

About the Item

18th Century Medical Syringe For historical medical use and dating from the 18th century, and certainly from the beginning of the 18th century. This hand-crafted example is made to a high quality, particularly for the handle and the two very rounded ends of the piston. The syringe has a few defects and retains a beautiful original patina. Its 18th century medical or surgical syringes with short tips were certainly for ophthalmological or ENT use. Both ends unscrew and it still has its original cotton string stopper in place after all these years, a rare object of medical history. Dimensions in inches: H 4” x W 0.6” x D 0.6” Age: 18th century Origin: Unknown Condition: Aged This item shows natural wear and aging through obvious use and handling. With a natural patination across its surface, the pushdown tip has loss to one side of the ball as shown. Light natural split to the main shaft as shown but this doesn’t affect the structure or form in anyway. This is an antique item dating over 200 years, please expect natural blemishes as shown in the photos provided. We strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase.
