A drug kit in a leather case, measuring 18 x 8 x 3 cm. The brown leather case has gilt decorations and a metal clasp. The sides fold open like a book to reveal a red leather-lined stand with twelve vial loops on either side. Each loop bears a number in gold stamping. The kit contains twenty glass vials, most with cork stoppers, some of which are empty. One of the two fold-down sides has a billfold-like holder for papers. The kit was donated by R. Burns, M.D., in September 1959. The case is in poor condition, lacking the upper portion that would cover the tops of the vials. The remaining leather is very worn, and half of the clasp is missing.
ca. 1890's
