A rare example of Bozeman’s Shot-smashing Forceps for vesico-vaginal repair from a set by New York maker G. Tiemann and bearing their trade label indicative of their address from 1833-55. All the instruments devised by Bozeman for this purpose are included in this set. Many are very different from those proposed by Sims for the same purpose and is potentially a reflection of their mutual disdain for each other.
