Comment on Collections Corner: May I Pre-chew that for you, Sir? by Museum of Health Care

Hello Joe – Glad to have helped you put a name to an artifact! We do have a masticator in the collection with slightly curved blades (#004015003 picture below). While it also has a clip to keep the handles closed, I imagine that such a feature might break off fairly easily or not be included in all models. One model I saw on the website of the National Museum of Dentistry (www.dentalmuseum.org) did not appear to have the clip.
Thanks for taking a look at our blog. Hope you found it interesting and informative!

Hello… I have had one of these items in my collection of old tools for over 20 years but never knew what it was until I looked at your website today. The chrome is gone off mine leaving it very rusty. Mine never had a clip to keep the handles closed and the blades are curved rather than straight. Perhaps a different version?

If you come home and find a Jacques le Bear-shaped pile of ashes, it was to prevent infection.
