Maltz's raspatory, chrome plated, by Pilling, Philadelphia, mid 20th century, formerly the property of Thomas Pomfret Kilner.
This came from an instrument case used by Thomas Pomfret Kilner (1890-1964) at Liverpool; see BAPRAS/ 242.
This raspatory was given to Kilner as a gift by its designer, Maxwell Maltz (1899-1975). Also held in the collection is the raspatory that Maltz gave to Sir Harold Gillies; see related records.
