A drug kit in a brown leather case, measuring 27.5 x 9 x 9 cm. The unlined case has a leather handle and locking metal clasp. A leather compartment is built into the inner lid. The removable vial tray has twelve metal vial holders on each side. The case contains twenty-one cork-stoppered glass vials, 10 cm in height, and two small glass vials, only 5 cm in height. The kit is in fair condition, with some mold damage and discoloration of the leather case. The metal brackets also show deterioration. The kit was donated by Mrs. F.M. Day in June 1948.
