Description
ca. 1860's
Digital photograph of a drug kit in a black leather case. The case has been opened to reveal three rows of cork-stoppered glass vials. Three vials of various sizes have been removed from the case and set on the gray counter to the right. A ruler has been placed in the foreground for size comparison.
A drug kit in a black leather case, measuring 30 x 14.7 x 14 cm. The case has a purple velvet lid liner and a leather pocket in front. There are three vial trays: one holding twenty thin vials, one holding sixteen medium width vials, and one holding twelve larger width vials. The first two trays fold out with the front of the case, while the third is fixed in the inner compartment. An open rectangular compartment in the interior is flanked on either side by slots for four large vials. The kit contains: 1) twenty thin glass vials with cork stoppers, measuring 12 x 1.0 cm, 2) sixteen medium width glass vials with cork stoppers, measuring 12 x 1.5 cm, 3) twelve larger width glass vials with cork stoppers, measuring 12 x 2 cm, 4) eight large glass vials with cork stoppers, measuring 13 x 2.5 cm, 5) eight glass vials of assorted sizes, all with cork stoppers, and 6) a roll of cotton material. The set was donated by Mrs. E.E. Cable in July 1951. The vials are all in good condition, but the case shows heavy wear.
