Description
A superb set of mid-19th century dental instruments with mother-of-pearl handles in the form of dolphins. The section in the center of the tray is a mirro, hence the reflections in the first image. Instruments of this type are seldom signed but SS white may well bve the maker. This tray of instuments was probably part of a larger set containing a MOP mirror, scissors and a variety of steel instuments.
