Description
Vulcanite finishers were used in the finishing of vulcanite or plastic plates when all work was done by hand, except for the final polishing which was done with a foot treadle lathe. Electricity and rotaform cutters (burs) and stones saw the end of much of this handwork. This example has a thin concave shaped blade with thin edges.
