Description
Typical contra angled hand stopper with enlarged end. Part of a set. More modern instruments than Dental Museum Collection items 456 to 463. Instruments have a similar function but are for gold and amalgam having a lighter handle for finer precision touch. Finger used instead of hand. Very well made instruments, most are named and have ebony, steel or vulcanite handles. Contra angled. Note, some catalogues refer to these instruments (stoppers) as 'pluggers'.
