Характеристики

 An ebony Civil War Era Baunscheidt's Lebenscwecker ("Life Awakener"). The CW version of acupuncture. The end of the spring loaded inner rod has 30 fine needles which would be dipped in an irritating oil, pulled back and then released on the skin causing 30 punctures. The oil would act as a counter-irritant which was supposed to cure a variety of ailments and illnesses. The stimulation of the needles pricks would sometimes arouse a patient from a coma, proving he was still alive (hence the titel "life Awakener"). The instrument measures approximately 11". Only 7 of the original needles remain. A unique addition to a CW medical collection and a definite conversation starter
