Excavated Civil War Spring Loader Brass Casing Surgeon's Bleeder
Click on an image to enlarge
This is a cool piece! This is an original excavated spring-loaded Civil War surgeon's bleeder. This was designed to pierce the skin to allow for draining of wounds. Most of the ones of the period were more like pocket knives but this one cocked back and has the button on the side to release the spring to pierce the wound. This one has the blade base remaining but the tip portion (missing) broke off which would be why the doctor discarded it. It has a wonderful patina to the brass and the iron spring is still present. This is a very fine little piece of Civil War medical history.
