Field Surgical Set

A rare authentic Civil War Union Army Medical Department field surgical set manufactured by Snowden and Brother of Philadelphia.  The set is all original instruments by Snowden, and only a couple of minor instruments are missing.  There are no substitutions by other makers or from a different time.  This is a guaranteed Civil War set such as would have been used in the field temporary forward areas during the first year of the war.   There is a Snowden and Brother companion capital hospital set, also for sale, which is the type that would have been used in the rear area better equipped hospitals during the war.
