| Description | This is a Calico Roll-up case made of cotton, designed to house various midwifery instruments (in this case, Barnes’ Cranioclast, Denman’s Perforator, and Simpson’s Perforator). Information regarding the maker is missing. It appears heavily stained and damaged.
These cases were commonly used by midwives to carry essential tools for childbirth and other obstetric procedures. The roll-up design allowed for easy transportation and organization of instruments, ensuring that midwives had quick access to the tools they needed during deliveries. |
