Physicans Bleeder Cane Circa 1830 (8455)
One of the worlds best gadget canes. Ivory, tortice, rosewood. Similar to the next cane, it was required that doctors carried finger bleeders with them at all times in England. These are the only two like this I have seen. In the fourth picture you can see the nerve ending on the whales tooth handle. The bleeders are in individual compartments and are tortice.
