Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:51795673 | Modified Item: No |
| Time Period Manufactured: 1930-Now | Country/Region of Manufacture: Germany |
Fantastic vintage woman's arm prosthetic, for above elbow amputees. Believed to be of German manufacture, 1950's, perhaps 1960's or later.
Made of hard plastic and molded resin, with an incredible leather hand. The thumb and the elbow are jointed but whereas the elbow can be locked in many different positions, the thumb only opens when manually moved. It stays in the closed position otherwise. The rest of the hand is not flexib...le, only the thumb moves.
I don't know if this arm can actually be used, as I am not an amputee myself but it is in excellent, complete condition. The strap is leather and canvas and is completely pliable; not at all brittle or dry. No cracks or damage of any kind. The metal "joint" at the elbow looks to be stainless steel and is very clean. The entire arm is exceedingly clean, with only a few light scuffs here and there from normal use.
When extended, the arm and hand measures 27" long; the forearm is 9"; the upper arm from elbow to the top of the shoulder is 14"; the leather hand is 5.5". The shoulder opening is 5-7/8" wide by 6.5" tall.
