| Georgian physician's blood letting set including a silver mounted green shagreen case with hinged top, complete with its four original thumb lancets, each with a triangular steel blade housed in hinged tortoiseshell protective guards. Circa 1790. Three of the steel blades are stamped with the cutler's mark of a crown with a six pointed star below, while the fourth blade is stamped SARLING. The set is in remarkable condition, with the only the catch for the lid closure being missing. Shagreen was made from the skin of the dogfish, which is a member of the shark family. It was treated similar to leather and glued over a wood case. The most desirable shagreen was stained, usually green, as in this example. Size: 2 7/8" tall x 1 1/2" wide x 3/4" deep.
