where can I find antique dental equipment to purchase for a "history"
room in my newly built dental office? Specifically, I am looking for
small things that can be hung on a wall or placed on a shelf or in a
small cabinet. Examples of items would be antique pictures or
paperwork, hand instruments, or drills.
