Vecabe’ produced these beautiful dental models in the 1920’s that were used for training purposes. Each tooth is fired enamel and is held by a pin system that aligns perfectly to make a correct bite. The model is silver plated and has signs of oxidation but when you take the teeth out you can see the original luster. The top of the mouth flips in a horizontal position and it is held by the rear of the stand. This piece is serial 12163 (with original matching numbered box) and these unique training models are very scarce and hard to come by.

This extra special set—the first I have acquired complete with original box with many teeth of varying procedures done in silver and gold (I believe it is brass and some white metal) . There are so many attachments for the teeth such as partials done in various metals and filling work of many types — also several false teeth. All of these pieces are specific to this training set and can fit the mouth to simulate the needed procedure for study . The box is in great shape with clean blue velvet which is a striking display when opening the box. The mouth can change ‘looks’ as desired from perfect to a well abused mouth.
