"Antique Veterinary Bloodletting Tool With Multiple Blades – 19th Century, Bone Handle"

Rare antique veterinary bloodletting tool, dating back to the 19th century, featuring a bone handle engraved with the initials “CL” and a set of multiple iron blades. This type of instrument was used for animal phlebotomy, a common practice in veterinary medicine of the time to treat various conditions.

The tool consists of six blades of different shapes and sizes, designed to incise the animal’s skin and facilitate blood drainage. The natural bone handle has developed a beautiful period patina with handcrafted details, while the blades show signs of wear and aging consistent with its era.
