A collection of three medical cases, donated by Roy Swank, M.D., in August 1966. All are in somewhat poor condition. The first is a black leatherette roll with red leatherette lining and metal clasp closure. Black leatherette instrument loops hold male and female catheters, forceps, and dental instruments. The second is an unlined black leatherette drug kit, which folds open to reveal two rows of vial holders. The case contains eighteen glass vials filled with medications. The third is a brown leather roll that contains three cast iron dental forceps.
ca. 1890's
Digital photograph of three medical cases, including two instrument rolls and a drug kit, all set on a tan background. One roll, with red leatherette lining, has been unfurled to show the instruments inside. The drug kit has also been opened. Three large cast iron dental forceps have been removed from the third roll, and placed alongside the cases. A ruler is shown at bottom for size comparison.
