Medicine glass in case
« on: June 30, 2013, 10:23:59 AM »
Dear all,

I think this is a medicine glass, as that is what is written in the case. ( call me Sherlock )  :-\

The glass is 64 mm tall and 51 mm wide across the top. It has etched or scratched number/level markings which seem crudley made.

Any ideas of age, maker, value would be greatly appreciated,

thank you

For value look at similar completed items on ebay. Perhaps 1930s for date - mostly as it looks in good condition, so far from scientific!

I have a larrger version of the same, also in a leather case. These were used in Pharmacies and date from the end of the 19th century.
