This is a substantial estate-style collection of vintage professional dental hand instruments, supplies, and related items. Appears to come from a practicing dentist’s inventory (labels reference Armstrong-Smith Co., Birmingham, Ala., Cleveland Dental Mfg. Co., etc.). Items show normal professional use and age-related wear; they are not sterile and are sold as-is for collectors, display, educational use, or qualified professionals who will properly clean/sterilize.
Main contents visible in the photos:
• Large assortment of stainless steel hand instruments (explorers, probes, scalers, excavators, burnishers, pluggers, etc.) — well over 100 pieces laid out across multiple photos
• Extraction forceps / pliers (including marked examples)
• Wooden-handled instruments
• Multiple boxes of copper matrix bands, including:
• Crandall Seamless Copper Matrix Bands (Cleveland Dental Mfg. Co., Cleveland, Ohio) with size chart (sizes 1–14)
• Other “Copper Bands – Highly polished and numbered” boxes (Assorted 1–20, 36 gauge, etc.)
• Complete Metalift Crown Removal System kit by Robert D. Westerman, D.D.S., F.I.C.D. (with technical manual, key wrench, regular & magnum instruments, burs, mineral oil, rouge latex separator, etc.)
• Thermafil Endodontic Obturators (stainless steel, size 60/.06 mm, 30-pack style packaging)
• Black carrying case containing a mechanical dental device (appears to be an articulator or related apparatus with various attachments and pink modeling compound pieces)
• Various rubber cups/dams, suction-related pieces, hooks/clips, and small accessories
• Additional boxed items and loose parts
Condition varies: many instruments have good stainless finish with expected use marks; boxes show age/wear; some rubber/plastic components are aged. Photos are of the actual items.
