rare cupping set and artificial leech
French artificial leech / cupping set
This is a very rare French cupping set / artificial leech combination.  The cups are marked Rosenmund A Paris.  The set contains 2 cups, each fitted with a brass stop-cock mechanism and a breast cupping cup.  All cups fit onto the brass evacuation syringe.  The set also contains a screwdriver to remove the brass fittings from the cups.  The unusual part about this set is the scarificator.
The scarificator pictured above is a very unusual item.  Unlike the common blade mechanisms seen in most cupping sets.  This unit contains 8 metal spikes on a brass plate.  The entire plate can be raised or lowered by turning the plunger.  The base is spring-loaded and would depress into the patient with pressure on the top plunger.  A set with an identical scarificator is in the collection of Doug Arbittier, his is marked by an Italian maker, Lollini.
