This is a HOOT! Wonder if Dr. Leale carried these in his medical kit -- OR perhaps Dr. Porter?!?

Sometimes a little levity doesn't hurt - especially in our line of research!

Thanks, Roger!

I wonder what the prize is.

I wondered the same thing, Joe! I bet I know....a Nélaton probe perhaps ?!

Really funny. Is it real? I'm going to see if they really can be purchased. I give Lincoln presentations. The bandages really would be a hoot.
I just ordered two boxes at $4.95 per!

Forum members: I received my order of two packages of the Lincoln bandages today! I'm going to use them in a future Lincoln presentation. I couldn't resist opening one to see what the prize inside was. It was a horse tatoo. Maybe its the horse Booth fled on. Smile

OR....if it's wearing an eye patch -- it may be Lew Powell's one-eyed nag! HA!

Too bad it wasn't a tattoo of JWB's initials!

Betty: you're cracking me up! Yes, the tattoo with JWB initials could be strategically placed on the knuckles-just like Booths. Now that would be tacky! Which hand?

We did the "gag gift" thing at work yesterday as part of our Christmas celebration. I used a brand new unopened container of Lincoln bandages for my gag gift. It actually was the most popular item in the bunch. In fact, several said that they were going to purchase their own on line!

He's twelve, so it will be a "Gee, thanks..." kind of thing for him. I guarantee it will never be used.
