Description
A syringe set in a case, measuring 8.5 x 18.5 cm. The black leatherette case is lined in purple velvet and has a snap closure. Leather loops sown to the velvet hold the syringe and smaller vials, while a leather-covered rack holds up to twelve vials or carpules. The set contains: 1) two glass vials with rubber stoppers, containing alcohol and cresol 1% solution, 2) two amber glass vials with rubber stoppers, containing "Cook surgical needles, rustless steel," 5/8 inches long, 3) one amber glass vial with rubber stopper, containing a needle 2 inches long, 4) chrome syringe, marked with trademark and patent number, and 5) a set of needles wrapped in purple velvet, including one straight and one curved needle, both with wire. The set is in fair condition, although the glass barrel of the syringe is missing. The set was donated by John C. Brougher, M.D., in February 1976.
