Wilkerson Dental Chair 

1892-1907 | Object #: 0004.0001

This artifact was originally owned by dentist and orthodontist, Dr. Stanley Kirby (U-M DDS 1902), who practiced in Hillsdale, Michigan. It was donated to the School of Dentistry and displayed in the Dentistry Library in the 1970s. In 1992, it was transferred to the Sindecuse Museum as one of its earliest acquisitions by the late Dr. Charles Kelsey, a former faculty member and also a renowned dental historian.
