[SCIENCE & MEDICINE]. Amputation kit by A.M. Leslie & Co., St. Louis. 
Velvet-lined wooden box with brass fittings and missing cartouche, 16 1/4 x 5 3/4 x 1 3/4 in. (3 tools missing from slots; upper velvet loose, general surface wear to wood and patination to fittings, missing cartouche). Interior sticker reads "A.M. Leslie & Co, Surgical Instrument Makers, St. Louis." Kit includes 4 amputation knives of various sizes, a bone saw, metacarpal saw, tenaculum, bone brush, trephine, and other instruments, most stamped for Leslie & Co.
