Notes | The single-ear wooden stethoscope was developed from René Laennec's paper roll of 1819. These were vase- or trumpet-shaped, turned in one piece from cedar, boxwood, ebony, or lignum vitae. They were superseded by two-ear stethoscopes from around 1886. | | Purchased from Edward H Pinto, 1965. |
