The metal case has been placed on a gray counter, and opened to reveal the ampule tray affixed to the inner lid. The instrument tray has been removed and set on the counter to the right of the case. A small needle case is shown in front, with the lid and contents removed. A ruler has been placed in the foreground for size comparison.
000004582 520__ $$aA Japanese field hypodermic kit, donated by John B. White, M.D., in January 1945. A provenance note indicates that the kit was "picked up at Buna Gona (Papua in SE Asia?)." The nickel-plated case has a hinged snap lock and measures 12.6 x 8.2 x 3.4 cm. It is fitted with a removable metal instrument tray with handle and holding clamps. The kit contains: 1) sqaure brown bottle with glass stopper and metal screw cap, 2) four glass barreled syringes, three Luer-type and one tuberculin with a blue plunger, 3) nickel-plated needle case containing one hypodermic needle, one angular rasp, two metal blades, and two heart-shaped ampule cutters with instruction sheet, and 4) a removable metal tray with clamps for ampules, which holds sixteen 1-cc ampules of various medications, mostly Vitamin B Complex. The case is in fair condition with some spotting and scratches. One syringe nozzle is broken, but otherwise the contents are in fair condition.
