Description

264.01 - 264.05 Lancets: All of standard form, but differing in size, each comprising a leaf-blade pivoted between a pair of tortoiseshell scales; one differs slightly in having brass washers under the heads of the pivot pin. 264.06 Case: Pressed cardboard with cover, imitation leather finish. The case takes six lancets so, presumably, one of those originally supplied is now missing.
