Digital photograph of a hypodermic needle and its original printed carton. The carton has been placed on a light gray counter, and opened to show the interior. The printing on the inner lid can be read in part. The needle itself has been separated into its two component parts and set on the counter in front of the case. A small brown paper envelope with printing is to the right of the case. A ruler has been placed in the foreground for size comparison.
A hypodermic needle in a cardboard carton, measuring 7.3 x 4 x 1.6 cm. The light blue carton is lined in a metallic paper. The needle itself is identified as No. 1001 R & B Aseptic Sub-Q hypodermic, using McElroys New Mineral Packing. The needle is in two pieces, the glass barrel with plunger and needle with silver wire insert. Also included in the box is an envelope of rubber shoulder washers. The syringe was donated by Ethel G. Reuter, M.D. in 1963. The instrument is in good condition, but the carton is torn on several corners. The envelope contains two rubber washers.
