A cased set of antique Cervix Dilators. Each Dilator has two different sizes, one on each end with the sizes stamped, thus the smallest is 7 and 8 and the largest 17 and 18. This is a set of six Dilators, one is missing. The case measures 20.7 x 11.6cm (8" x 4.5").
 
The catalogue pages are taken from the Down's Brothers catalogue for 1900.
