I am a urologist who has developed an interest in the
tools of Jewish ritual circumcision (brit
milah).
Some of these tools are rather ornate.
I've noticed, however, that there is very little information on the web
regarding these instruments. It seems odd--when these items are
occasionally auctioned on eBay, there seems to be a lot of
interest. I suspect that there actually are enough collectors to
justify a few informational sites.
Therefore, I present to you CircCentral.
At first I will post items in my collection. I bought most of
these items on eBay.
I will provide information regarding each item as stated by the
seller. Some of this information is probably incorrect.
Perhaps some of the items are counterfeit. If you know anything
about an item, please email me (CircCentral
at yahoo dot com).
As this site expands, I would like to post items from other
collectors. If you share my interest, do not hesitate to contact
me.
