The instruments have long polished shafts with curved, blunt working ends in graduated configurations and are individually secured by sewn canvas retaining loops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne instrument is clearly stamped “SKLAR STAINLESS,” identifying the maker as Sklar, a long-established American surgical-instrument supplier. Based on the form of the instruments and their graduated curved ends, these appear to be a set of surgical dilators, rather than general probes or retractors. The utilitarian canvas roll and all-metal construction give the set the appearance of portable field or institutional medical equipment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer: SKLAR \/ Sklar surgical instruments\u003cbr\u003eItem: Graduated surgical dilator\/instrument set\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Instruments: 6\u003cbr\u003eInstrument Material: Polished stainless steel\u003cbr\u003eCase: Olive green canvas roll with olive-drab edging, ties and retaining loops\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Double-ended, long-shaft instruments with curved\/blunt working ends\u003cbr\u003eEstimated Period: Approximately 1930s–1950s\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin:  United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Instruments appear quite clean with bright polished surfaces and minor age\/use wear.
