1912 US Navy Surgical Kit

The following photographs were sent by courtesy of Mr W. B. Cox of Oregon who acquired a US Navy portable surgical kit at an Estate sale. The kit consists of a U.S.Navy trifold portable canvas folder with the instruments located inside. There are two flat stainless folding containers holding the scalpels and these cases are dated 1912.
