Bonwill's Dental
Mallet
American, circa 1880
We have the mallet itself, in excellent condition; here's a catalog page advertising its virtues. It is a tiny electrically-operated jackhammer, used to pack gold foil into a drilled-out cavity in a tooth. This is one of the earlier applications of electricity to dental surgery. |
