Description
A handsomely cased and complete set of Hartz’s uterine dilators and electrodes by Keniston & Root, working in Los Angeles. Length of case: 10.5″. In excellent condition throughout. Not much information is available about K&R. They are not in Edmundson. Davis & Dreyfuss list a catalog they published in 1922 and the firm placed an ad in the November 9, 1921 edition of the LOS ANGELES HERALD. ” The Tizzano Museum site shows a near-identical set that is described as follows:
“A scarce set of Hartz’s Uterine Dilators and Electrodes in a fitted mahogany case signed Chidsey & Partridge, Boston (1886-1900). Robert G. Chidsey left Goldthwiate & Co. in 1886 to join George L. Partridge in business. The later was removed to San Francisco to open shop in 1887.”
