Well, somtimes I nick the edge of my nostril and it seems I should probably have a bowl for all the blood that ensues. But I think I'll pass on this auction. :)
Well, it is anique after all....
Back in early times the barber was sometimes the dentist and the doctor. A common practice was to "bleed" people. They thought by cutting an artery and letting out some blood that they were purging the body of impurities iirc.
Blood Bowl:( have had this thing for years,never a clue thats what it was used for,Interesting.

If you ever watch the Peter O'Toole movie The Man from LaMancha, this is the type of bowl he wore as a helmet.
Maybe that ad would attract a buyer faster if the seller threw in a few leeches :)Quote:
