Antique Victorian Obstetrical Forceps with Ebony Handles & Wing Screw, 19th Century Midwifery Marked Tiemann

A fine pair of Victorian obstetrical forceps with blackened shaped handles and a wing-screw locking the shanks — the compressing screw that distinguishes the heavier midwifery instruments from simple traction forceps. Dramatic, sculptural, and a centerpiece for a medical collection. Marked Tiemann
