Description

This saw was part of a civil war era field surgical kit.  It was manufactured by J P Sharp and Wm N. Smith in Chicago Ill.  It is stamped Sharp & Smith and measures 14" by 3".  The saw has a steel blade and a crosshatched ebony handle.   These unsanitary materials were discontinued in the late 1800's and is an interesting piece of American history.
