Denison’s type of stethoscope. The ear pieces are made of dark brown wood (?) which lead into flexible woven tubes and a large chest piece. Originally this type of stethoscope comes with three interchangeable chest pieces for hearing different types of sounds. Bells are missing from this stethoscope, but it could be used without the bell for auscultation of children.
