Only One Available. This is a great example of a Civil War era medical crutch, measuring 48” long in total. The crutch is of crude and period construction and likely would not work as a crutch today. There is no rubber or cushion remaining at the bottom, with the bottom piece appearing to have been glued back on a while ago. This makes sense as the original rubber would have worn away ages ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is an X carved into the crutch below the inner handle. There is some heavy wear overall as well as some woodworm holes, a testament to the age of this phenomenal piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great example of a crutch from the Civil War, ready for further research and display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42218270588997,"sku":"ON4928","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ON4928__02.jpg?v=1737774035","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-civil-war-wooden-medical-crutch-of-crude-period-construction-48-long","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
