Description
USA SALES ONLY. SORRY.This is a hypodermic needle assembly including a metal (likely nickel plated steel) barrel assembly of
two parts: a barrel and a needle protective cap(cover). It also includes a plunger of similar metal, the plunger's
indicia markers ( 5, 10 and 15) clearly show the plunger being stainless steel.
The wooden holder is 2-part and likely of walnut or a lighter wood such as pine.
The assembly works well and the wood is in exceptional condition for its age.
The needle itself appears to be a more recently added replacement, as many were added following use.
Please see the close-ups to reach your own conclusion as to condition.
Note:
I cannot discern a maker's mark but it appears very similar to those shown in the attached 3 photos:
1) the two far opposites on photo 6; 2) the upper ones in photo 7; and 3) the lower one in photo 8.
Many of these were made in Garmany and France.
