| Description : | A mallet with a long, slender wooden handle and slightly cone-shaped head. |
| Commentaires : | This homemade mallet made of cow horn was from Hub Dental Laboratory, which was established in Moncton on St. George Street in 1947 and still operates today. |
| Fonctions : | This was used as a dental mallet at Hub Dental Laboratory in Moncton. The mallet would have been utilized to drive nails, fillings, and screws into bones, or possibly in the dissection and resection of bones, in association with primarily the osteotome and chisel. Mallets typically have a head made of a material softer than steel, hence why a cow horn was used. |
