CIVIL WAR RELATED HYGIENIC DEVICE, ORIGINAL ADVERTISEMENT, “ONE ARM BASIN BRUSH,” Circa 1893. PLEASE NOTE: This is an original set of documents (printed in 1893), suitable for matting and framing. This document set would make a fantastic gift for any medical student, nurse, doctor, surgeon, military collector, high school history teacher or university professor. QUANTITY: TWO pages. One page is a βtestimonialβ page and one page is the βorder formβ (which the buyer would fill out, enclose a dollar and mail to the distributor). TYPE OF SCRIPOPHILY, EXONUMIA, NOTAPHILY: TWO pages. Civil War related, advertisement for patented toilet article, “Basin Brush for One Armed / One Handed People.” COMPANY NAME: Walter B. Gywn (inventor and sole supplier). CITY, COUNTY & STATE: Ashville, (Buncombe County) North Carolina UNITED STATES PATENT: Yes, Number 414,527 issued on November 5, 1889. Please see the two digital scans of the original Patent application’s drawings of the clamp, brush and basin. PLEASE NOTE: Copies of the Patent application drawings ARE NOT included with your purchase, they are only displayed for reference. DATE ON FORMS & YEARS OLD: 1893. 131-years old. As these forms were never circulated, never mailed, they are being listed as NEW even despite being over 130-years old! PURPOSE OF THE PATENTED DEVICE: (From the specifications in the original Patent application): “…My invention relates to toilet articles and the purpose thereof is to provide a simple and convenient hand washer capable of being instantaneously attached to and detached from a bowl or basin to enable a person deprived of the use of one arm or hand to bathe the other easily and expeditiously. It is a further purpose of my invention, to provide a simple and easily operated clamp and support for a toilet brush or similar toiler article whereby the same maybe easily applied to a basin or similar receptacle and rigidly held therein to permit the application of the hand thereto…” The purpose of this invention was to assist those with “upper amputations” or the temporary loss of an upper appendage (due to injury or immobilization) to bathe. The device’s spring would clamp onto the side of a wash basin (or bowl) and the device would then hold a brush, cloth, sponge or wash cloth (so that someone who only had the use of one arm or one hand could more easily wash the other). If you don’t think this was a useful invention, go to a sink and try to wash one of your hands – – – without using your other hand. And like mom always said, “Be sure to scrub under those nails.” TYPE OF DOCUMENT(S): Original advertisement (directions and testimonials) and original order form to purchase this unusual device and a Tampico Brush. This listing is for ONE original advertisement -and- ONE original order form, selected at random, from a lot. GENERAL COLOR(S): Paper is slightly brown (either due to age or it was the original paper color). Black ink. Watermarked paper (see listing’s photographs for an image of the watermark). Lined linen. MEASUREMENTS: 8.56β x 5.56″. EMBOSSING: None. WATERMARKED: Yes, “Crown Linen” (see photograph of the watermark in the listing’s photographs). “Linen paper” is a very high quality paper made from linen fibers or with a linen finish. The 1921 edition of “Lockwood’s Directory of the Paper, Stationary and Allied Trades” lists the watermark of “Crown Linen” as being used by Rolland Paper Company, St. Jerome, Canada -and- C. W. Williams and Company, New York. FOLDS: None. CORNERS: Excellent. PEN OR PENCIL MARKS: None. HOLES, TEARS, DAMAGE / GENERAL DISCLAIMER: This listing consists of one original advertisement / testimonials and one original order form (two sheets total) selected at random from a lot. All of the documents were stored in a box for over 100 years. The documents you receive will have no creases, no folds, no pen or pencil marks. They may have some smudging, edge damage, edge discoloration, staining, sun fading, spotting, etc. (as one would expect from paper with 100-years of environmental exposure). ADDITIONAL NOTES: These forms were stored in a box for over 100 years (as a group) and are now being sold individually, as a set of two sheets (one advertisement, one order form). ABOUT THE INVENTION / PATENT: One of the things the United States did a lot of in the 19th century was go to war: War of 1812, numerous “Indian wars,” Mexican-American Warm, Apache Wars, American Civil War, Yavapai Wars, Las Cuevas War, Garza War, Spanish-American War, Philippine-American War, Moro Rebellion, et al. Tens-of-thousands of American Civil War amputees likely created the “demand” for this unusual invention and other wars created even more demand for the device. Many soldiers wounded during the Civil War (1861β1865) as well as other wars, underwent amputations – where an arm, leg, hand or foot was removed due to injury followed by infection. In fact, approximately three-fourths of the operations performed during the Civil War were amputations. Penicillin? It wouldn’t be discovered until 1928 by a Scottish scientist and then first used in 1930… In the mid to late 1800’s, very little was known about the spread of germs, bacteria, gangrene and cross infection. Surgeons’ bloody hands would work on one patient – and then the next – without gloves and without washing. Even the same bandages were used on multiple patients without ever being washed. Simple infections (by today’s medicine) frequently became gangrenous leaving the surgeon’s saw as the soldier’s only salvation. Translation: Minor infection today and there goes another appendage tomorrow. As for those returning home from war, they needed to care for themselves, which included bathing. A simple task, such as washing one’s hand, was extremely difficult for those who’d lost a hand or arm. Thus the “demand” for this invention.
