ca. 1860's
Brass scarifier in a wood case. The case measures 8 x 3 x 1.8 cm., and the instrument measures 7.5 x 2.4 x 1.3 cm. The dark wood case has a leather hinge and wire clasp. The brass scarifier has engraved scroll work on the bottom side. The condition of the case is poor: it has split on the bottom, and shows signs of an earlier tape repair. The instruments trigger mechanism is inoperable, and there are scratches in the brass.
