We have nothing by Warring or Volt in our collection - can anybody else
out there offer any help?

Conversation: Information on Two Surgical Instrument Makers
Subject: Information on Two Surgical Instrument Makers
Dear Sir or Madam,
I wonder if you could assist me in finding out when the surgical
instrument makers 1) Warring and 2) Volt were in business in London. I
am trying to date instruments that I own. One is a vaccinator with
tortoise shell handles marked Warring, London. The other is a set of 6
ivory handled scalpels in a case with the name Volt, London on the
cover, the Letter "A" on the inside of the case, and the letters "S. M.
H." on the shaft of each of the scalpels. Any information would be much
appreciated.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ellis Tavin, MD
