Tongue forceps

HC.J.4.7

C. Ash & Sons (Manufacturer)

2 pairs of tongue forceps, steel plated. Ps. Presented by Mr Duncan MacGrecor EDS, LDS. 1st pair: straight body with oval tip perpendicular to the handles. The handles have a metal attachment that fixes them open at different points. 2nd pair: handle curves at near right-angle shape, to make it ergonomically fit the mouth better. One handle sits higher than the other. One of the tips is quadrilateral shaped, and the other one in u shape, with wiring going into the tip to form an indent.
