Set of urologic instruments in a wooden case, measuring 36 cm x 13 cm x 4 cm. The case has a brass nameplate on the lid, and two brass straps. The interior trays are lined in purple velvet, and the manufacturers name is printed on ivory inlay on the front edge of the bottom tray. The set was donated in August 1965 by Oliver Nisbet, M.D., and is in poor condition: the wood of the case has split, and the set is missing some instruments. The case currently contains: 1) cotton applicator with a screw tip, 2) knife, 3) ebony tube knife with two blades, 4) drainage catheter, 5) triangle tip probe, 6) cannula, 7) wooden-handled urethral sound, and 8) ebony-handled trocar.
