US GI Hemostatic Forceps Curved Kelly | Dated May 1957 | Sealed NOS
Description
A specific and highly collectible piece of Cold War history. Unlike generic undated surplus, this package is clearly stamped "PACKED MAY 1957", placing it squarely in the post-Korean War era. Inside the sealed paper wrapper are Curved Kelly Hemostatic Forceps, a tool favored by medics for its ability to clamp arteries in difficult-to-reach areas. Manufactured by the Columbia Surgical Instrument Co. in Brooklyn, New York, this item represents the peak of American industrial quality. The packaging indicates Stock No. 6515-334-3800. The condition is New Old Stock (NOS). The packaging is unopened, preserving the sterile instrument inside just as it was over 65 years ago. A perfect addition for a dedicated 1950s or early Vietnam War medical display.
