Antique American civil war era officers brass crutches. Dating to the mid to late 19th century these black leather clad crutches are made from brass upright and chromed handles and wooden curved tops. A rare set of medical crutches probably bespoke made for an officer of means who could afford to commission such an item. Usually these are plain wooden pieces with no metal or leather for that matter on them anywhere. They were recently acquired from a civil war medical collection in the Los Angeles area.

This would make a great addition to any civil war or antique medical collection.
