The stage forceps/specimen holder is made from brass. The instrument would be attached to a microscope/stage for holding the chosen specimen in any position under a microscope. There is a cork encased in brass at one end which would have been used by sticking a needle/pin in the cork and picking up a specimen for observation. The arm rotates and swivels on a ball joint in the center. There are two small turning screws which open and close the tweezers holder.
