About the Item

This antique Civil War era primitive leg brace or splint is unsigned, but presumed to have been made in the United States in circa 1860. The brace is constructed predominately from cut and hand forged steel panels fastened together with crude eyelets with a very sturdy cast brass fastener on the back and a wooden platform that can be moved up and down as a foot rest. There is an interesting bracket on the bottom with two holes on either side which appears to be for fastening the base to a surface to secure it. This is a very crude and early example of a utilitarian medical device, which is considerably large and heavy. And would not have been easy to wear for any period of time.
