For sale is a set of 10 antique hemostats covered in some kind of yellow wax or other substance, wrapped in wax paper, and stored together in a old cardboard box.


A number of years ago, I was able to purchase a large amount of new old stock medical tools that originated from Eastern Europe. Most of these are from the 1960s, but some might be a little earlier.


The box measures approximately 12 inches long, 4.5 inches wide, and 2 inches tall.


The hemostats measure approximately 10 inches tall by 3 inches wide.


There is paper on the box with the serial number “536/18–50 9–12.“ there is also the label “KS 10”, and on the paper as well is another label, “4. XII .1969” There is also writing that I am assuming is Czech, but I do not know what it says on account of me not speaking Czech. Without knowing what 1969 is supposed to represent in this context, I’m assuming that this item is at least 100 years old.


Please refer to the photos for the actual condition of the item. The box is worn and covered in stains, and the paper labeling the box is about to fall off. The front of the box is also torn from previous labels. The wax paper covering the Tools has several creases and wrinkles on it and is easily tearable. Both the box and the tools could use a good cleaning, but outside of these qualities, this item is in good condition.


The wooden background, pedestal, one inch grid, and anything in the photo outside of the item is used for photo quality and is not for sale.


Shipping and handling will be $7.95 to the lower 48 states. Anything outside of this region will have to pay additional shipping charges.
