Bleeding lancet, hammer |
||
To bring the lancet into the rough skin of pets, it took brute force. Prockeln caused the animal useless pain. Thus, an animal lover invented the "hammer" ("bloodstick" or "fleamstick") with which the blade with a short blow in the skin and the underlying vein was propelled "beaten".
Exhibit The 31 cm long hammer shown here was bought in 2004 on a flea market in Ceillac in the French Alps.
