Did Cyberdyne start up in the 1800s?

I thought this endo-arm was a nice piece of steampunk art at first.

Artificial left arm, Europe, 1850-1910

Heh.. neat.

That is cool, and a bit eerie at the same time. Very detailed and intricate looking! It looks like it would be right at home on a robot body.

The center of the palm was also said to have been used as an absinthe spoon.

 

[Egon Spengler]

Amazing!

 

[MooCriket]

Really cool find. I could easily see Kronen from Hellboy sporting one of those!

 

[ONEYE]

Can't help it... I want it!

I always joke that if I were to lose an arm, I'd want to get a big robot claw to put in it's place.

It looks like the one from the Wellcome collection in London, not the most fearsome or the most steampunky but a nice example. They have a big collection of arms on display and some are like pieces of armour with mechanical workings!!! If anyone's down near the British Library pop in and take a gander.
