Vintage Lancaster Pennsylvania Dentist Trade Card-
Dr. J.B. McCaskey of Lancaster, Pennsylvania was putting his money where your mouth was, so to speak- right up front on this dramatic if slightly unsettling trade card. The good doctor extracted teeth “absolutely without pain with gas; vitalized air, local injection method on gums”. Vitalized air sounds intriguing.
Card. 5.25”x4”. Minor soil, light wear, a few small dings on the sides. $35
