SPATULA MUNDANI (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. *Historic Reproduction*
This is a reproduction of John Woodall's "Spatula Mundani" of the early 17th century. It was used "to serve upon any occasion of extreme costiveness (constipation) ... so that no purging medicine neither upward nor downeward administered or taken will work" The spatula was for mixing, and yes, the open spoon was for digging whatever ailed you out! Copied from the original and made in iron, it measures 12 inches long.
SPATULA MUNDANI

PERKINS TRACTORS (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. A great medical curiosity, these are Perkins Tractors. They were used to draw off the noxious electrical fluid that lay at the root of suffering!! Worked so well(?) that George Washington bought a pair for the family to use.Ben Franklin had a pair also. Supposed to be made from platinum and secret metals, they were usually brass. They come in their own wooden case with brass lid. Tractors measure 4 inches long.
PERKINS TRACTORS $75.00
