Description
This is a set that was worn (according to a local dentist) somewhere between the late 1800s and the early 1900s as that's when this type was made. He said they were Vulcanite (or Vulcan?) Acrylic and were only made for a short time (around 40 years?). They were well used, there are a couple of holes worn through, and the staining on the teeth is apparent. I would like to know age (f you can tell a closer time period), are these female(?), and of course, a value. I would also like to know a reputable place to sell them. Thank you for any help.
