Description: 1877 Doctor Dibble Hemacite Japanese Pattern High Quality RecastBronze keyhole cover and escutcheon plate, dense impression & solid.The back story on Hemacite was a material created by a dentist DR Dibble. He was trying to create a composite material for dental filings by mixing saw dust, animal blood, heat and high pressure. Hemacite made a good form, however it did not hold up well as a dental filling. The patent was eventually sold off and became a precursor to plastic. Hemacite over time did not hold up well because it became brittle with age. Will combine shipping.If you have any questions please let us know.
