And he was in Sweden and in the army, and 1879 is when he enlisted.
And when we opened the book, we found that it's all in Swedish, but, uh, full of what we assume are instructions, and when you get to the back, there's a pocket, and this bandage is folded very strategically and tucks into the back of the book.
So when you open it, there's these images that depict lots of different kinds of injuries.
There's numbers on the individual injuries, and we think they coordinate with the information that's in the book.
APPRAISER: It's printed on cloth, but it, it is an actual real bandage.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: Medical surgery in the post-C, American Civil War years, in Sweden and the rest of the world... APPRAISER: ...was pretty primitive.
It involved a lot of amputation.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: And each one of these images depicts a soldier with a different type of wound with a very similar bandage... APPRAISER: ...to this being treated in a different manner.
This soldier's, the bandage is being used to, to hold his arm in a sling, and then if we look further down, we see that part of his leg has been amputated.
I've never seen a, a printed bandage like this before.
When you unfolded it out of the pocket...
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: ...I was just, like, "What on Earth is this?"
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
APPRAISER: The book and the bandage were published in 1885.
Most of these would have been battlefield-used.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: And they would not have survived... APPRAISER: ...and they would not have been in this kind of condition.
At a retail value, I think I would appraise this item at between $800 to $1,200.
GUEST: That's cool, yeah.
Thank you.
