Victorian Medical Syringe
This is a boxwood case with a wonderful patina and inside there is a glass syringe.
Research would suggest that this is for the treatment of Syphilis.
I think it is rare to find the syringe and the boxwood container together.
This would have been used to dispense mercury!
There is a slight crack in the wood at the top of the syringe please see last photograph.
L of syringe 12.5
L of wooden container 16.5 cm
