Antique Sullivan's Apothecary Measure in Turned Wood Travel Case 1930s medical tiny images of the cards

tiny images of the cards repeated in the corners

where designs are very finely painted in lacquer then sprinkled with gold

I don't know much about these antique gloves--which can be quite precious--but I just love this thing

so too do I think one can never have too many chests of drawers

Antique Sullivan's Apothecary Measure in Turned Wood Travel Case 1930s medical tiny images of the cardsA lovely thing, and a handy one to have on hand and for travel to measure a few teaspoons or tablespoons of a dose or a shot! The measuring glass reads "JNo Sullivan Apothecary Boston Tremont St Cor. [Corner of], Beacon." I have not turned up a match of this, or a record of Sullivan Apothecary on Tremont Street, but it seems there were quite a lot of apothecaries and pharmacies that came and went on Tremont street! Late 19th c. I believe. 3 1 4 t x 2
