@lennylaw.bsky.social still has his original syringe and uses it to this day in his practice. Despite the intense injection pain due to the needle being the same gauge as a ballpoint pen, the craftsmanship of the syringe itself is top notch and patients are impressed with the posh case.

Victorian dental anaesthetic syringe, cased with accessories. The syringe barrel is stamped with the name of the maker and the date it was patented. Parke, Davis and Co. was well known for producing cocaine-based products in the 1870s.
