Up for sale is a beautiful vintage medical collectible: a classic Bensaude-style anoscope / rectal speculum complete with its original removable obturator core. Manufactured by the historic J. Sklar Mfg. Co., this classic instrument showcases mid-century medical craftsmanship.

This design features a tapered conical body with a matching bullet-nosed insert (obturator) featuring a stylized thumb tab, alongside a slotted side track on the main sleeve for visualization.

Features:

- Authentic Sklar Marking: Stamped with the iconic interlocking "S" circle logo on the handle arm.

- Plating & Model Markings: Distinctly stamped "CHROME" and stamped with model/size number "37" on the obturator handle.

- Complete 2-Piece Assembly: Includes both the outer slotted viewing sheath and the slide-in matching core plunger.

Condition Details:

- Cosmetic Appearance: Very good vintage condition. The bright chrome plating retains a high-shine mirror finish over the vast majority of the piece with only light, expected surface handling swirls.

- Clean Integrity: Free of heavy pitting, flaking, or corrosion.

- Mechanical Fit: The obturator slides in and out smoothly and locks cleanly against the shoulder flange as intended.
