RichardB Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 128 WESTBAR.

There was Mr. John Turton, the surgeon (see p. 42.) ; John Spink, the pawnbroker, who, marrying the niece of the owner of the property, turned Benjamin Fox out of the shop where the ruined Casino now stands ; Benjamin Smilter, father of the present High Bailiff; Francis Cluley, the earliest surgical instrument maker, who was next door to the " Old Tankard," removing thence to Surrey street.

HughW Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The forceps in question... [sorry, failed to notice you'd linked to the text] What they're for, and a technical description, from the same source: http://books.google.co.za/books?id=-VM1AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA102#v=onepage&q&f=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Also... "An early 19th century antique amputation set by Francis Cluley, Sheffield, England. The two saws, the two knives, and the bone forceps are marked CLULEY. The capital amputation saw has a handsome ebony handle, and the large surgical knife is expressly made for circular amputations. A lidded-compartment between the bone forceps handles holds suturing needles. The Napoleonic Wars era surgical set includes two Petit tourniquets to meet the needs of multiple amputations such as in a battle setting. Cluley is a relatively rare Georgian surgical instrument maker and was in business from around 1810 to 1830."
