Antique Physician's Pocket Emergency Kit in Zippered Leather Case, Glass Syringe & Instruments, c. 1920s

A compact zippered leather pocket kit as carried by house-call physicians in the early 20th century, fitted with a glass syringe, metal instrument tube, and small tools. Pocket emergency kits let the doctor carry sterilizable essentials in a coat pocket between the office and the patient's parlor. An evocative, displayable piece of house-call era medicine.
