Civil war amputation saw, quite a find. I guess it is possible that it was post Civil War, but either way, congrats!

Check out this one made by the same co. I know it's obviously different but it has a bid at $185.

Tiemann is one of the larger manufacturers of early surgery equipment. They made high quality stuff and is very collectible. Here are a pair of flesh removal knives for amputation prep made by Tiemann. I bought them along with a few straight razors last year. It took me a while to firgure out what they were but once I did.....Pretty scary stuff!!

Whew! Great Find......I think. ;>)

Anything in the house now moving around or making strange noises? (Now that Topic question might make for quite a new Thread!)

Interesting find, for sure!
