Hermann Hernstein Late Civil War Cased Trephine Set - U.S.A. Hospital Department
Complete trephine set with brass bound mahogany case with reinforced brass screws and military sliding lock by Hermann Hernstein New York. The original receipt with items list and price is still attached to the back of the partition. Address on the receipt shows 393 Broadway , New York which was there civil war address. The following address dates and history are from Edmondson's American Surgical Instruments:

1855-57 81 Duane and 393 Broadway
1858 81 Duane, 131 Mercer, and 393 Broadway
1859-61 131 Mercer and 393 Broadway

Following the onset of the civil war Hernstein vied for and secured military contracts for the supply of surgical instruments. To meet the demand he manufactured instruments at his New York factory but also(more than other manufacturers of the day) supplemented his own production with european imports. At the end of the war he was said to have a large stock of imported instruments which lead to financial failure of the company.

Front of partition has Hernstein logo with embossed eagle. Two galt style trephines of different size. Condition of the set is excellent and essentially as new when purchased. It's extremely rare to see a set in new unused condition and this is a very nice example of a Hernstein Civil War cased trephine set.
