Country of manufacture
France
Description
Nose shapers or “Rectificateurs” offered a reasonably priced alternative to those for whom plastic surgery was out of the question because of cost or anxiety over outcome. By donning this device, say before bedtime, and tightening the screws on the portions of the nose deemed in need of reshaping, the desired result could, at least in theory, be achieved.Our example date from the first quarter of the 20th century and is complete with original case and adjusting wrench. We have a similar nose shaper on FG. While this one is in superb condition, the other shows a bit of wear and is priced accordingly.
