This is an estate find  rubber dam punch  of Samuel Stockton White. the dental dam was invented  in1864 by Sanford Barnum. I found that S S White had a patent July 1- 79 and produced the first punch in 1882 . What I have is a smooth working tool that still works and the feel of quality is still there. stamped on both sides  with a W over the SS Patent date July 1 -79 . The front rotates to 4 different sizes of holes and the punch still lines up on each hole. There is a number 43 on the other side inside the handle   . Its made of steel and plated I believe nickel. From research they were used up until 1920  then fell out of favor due to silver amalgam and back in the 1990s. There is a couple of places the finish is worn off on the outside of the handles. please look at the pictures and happy bidding
