1910 Clark New Model Anethesia Machine

This is a Clark New Model Anesthia Machine, created circa 1910, by Chicago inventor Albert Charles Clark, who originally founded the dental equipment firm, A. C. Clark & Company, in 1895. He made anethesia machines from 1904 into the 1920s and was one of the first in the world to administer what would become the standard tiad of agents, ether, nitrous oxide and oxygen, with their original model.

Made of cast iron & brass, with wheels for easy movement when typically used in a dentists office.

One can currently be seen at the Beamish Museum, County Durham, in the Dentists Surgery (a setting which shows snapshot of life in 1913).
