Scalpel

ED.CS.2003.4-2

Edinburgh Mackenzie, John Wood

Two scalpels in a black circular box. The first scalpel was manufactured by Mackensie and due to the slim blade it would probably have been used for precision cutting. The other was manufactured by John Wood and has a standard blade suggesting it could have been used for small incisions. The box that these instruments are contained in is damaged. Belonged to Eric McKay Reid, a Ship surgeon.
