Antique Sullivan's Apothecary Measure in Turned Wood Travel Case 1930s medical where designs are very finelyA 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
