I may have posted this before but I have been looking for an actual Orbitoclast for quite some time.    If anyone here has one or knows of someone who does please contact me.   I'm willing to pay top $ for an actual one.

@WSH do you remember Bweeep ( Dave Walsh ) I wonder if he has, or had one... he had alot of tools for a while

Those are almost impossible to find- most are either lost or in museums-  ive lost most of my collection but have regained quite a bit just through buying (as opposed to acquiring) an that has always been a dream for me as well-  sometimes leucotomes (pre-frontal) tools will come up on ebay or collectingmedicalantiques.com but there much more common- and the orbitoclast is something of a holy-grail.   

There is a dude on eBay (sculptor shop) who sells pretty close reproductions of freeman's personally designed one from the late 40s (he used 4 designs) but the set is over a hundred bucks and im a cheap bastard!  GWU has a set of Freeman's on display and i think the medical oddity museum in philly does too- Freeman's son had a couple as well but he died a few years back .... if one ever does come up i bet it would fetch thousands......
