Antique Baumanometer Blood Pressure Machine Kit Bag Model Med. Dept U.S. Army.


Own a piece of history!


Very good condition for its age, tubes are stuck to the wood and are cracked, spring that holds the meter works flawlessly!


Found at a estate sale, This Baumanometer was used in II World War as I was told.


I found this information online for you to read:
