Veterinary folding multi-blade fleam with embossed aluminium scales (c. 1890–1910). Produced by Brene Guillaumot et fils (Nogent region, France), this four-blade folding instrument represents the final generation of veterinary bloodletting tools. It features Art Nouveau embossed aluminum scales depicting pastoral scenes of horses and cattle. While the trademark displays Napoleon III’s Legion of Honor, the use of industrial aluminum and the "Déposé" mark date the piece to the late Belle Époque. Origin: Damremont/Ney-l'Évêque, France.
