United States Navy surgical and amputation kit, circa 1860 Wood; brass; nickel plated steel; velvet

These instruments were used by Union Navy Assistant Surgeon and 1861 Harvard Medical School graduate Charles Thatcher Hubbard aboard the USS Unadilla during the American Civil War. The ship and its surgeon participated in the capture of Fort Walker and Fort Beauregard in Port Royal Sound, South Carolina and the blockade of Charlestown.

No but really. I totally squealed when this came up on my screen. My dad looked over from where he's over on the phone and mouthed "What the Hell?" 

Delicious.
