Title	Surgical kit in leather case
Original Item Description	A pocket surgical kit in a folding leather case, measuring 10.5 x 6 x 2.5 cm. The black leather case has a purple velvet liner and an engraved silver clasp. The borders and corners of the case are edged in gold, and the manufacturer's name is stamped on the top flap. The case folds out into three compartments, containing: 1) male and female catheters, with detachable handle, 3) probe with an eye and one threaded end, 4) small bullet probe with a porcelain tip, 5) bulldog artery forceps, 6) probe and bistoury, 7) curved tenaculum, and 8) keratome needle and scalpel. The set was donated by Alfred C. Kinney in September 1942. It was presented to Augustus C. Kinney, M.D., House Surgeon at Charity Hospital, New York, on October 2, 1871, by the Commissioners of Public Charities and Correction. The case is in poor condition, with tearing and wear along the edges.
