EARLY 20TH CENTURY
US ARMY VETERINARIAN SYRINGE SET – COMPETE WITH NEEDLE
CASE:
This large syringe and needle set is of the size, and
packed in its original OD khaki roll, is in the style of
a pocket instrument set that was carried by US Army
Veterinarians. The horses and mules which kept the army
moving required constant attention, especially in the
field, and such instrument sets were provided to the
army veterinarians.
This Syringe Case is in the
original OD khaki cotton material wrapper, and is
complete with the wooden needle case with all three
needles present. The cloth wrapper shows no sign of
having been issued or carried in the field, and is in
excellent condition with no wear spots, complete with
both full length ties. The large syringe, measuring 4
¾” long and ¾” in diameter, is marked with the
manufacturer’s name. The plunger moves smoothly and the
syringe has an overall bright, shiny surface, showing no
wear. The two piece wooden needle case, measuring 2 ½”
long and 1 ¼” in diameter, is full form with no cracks
or other damage and it contains the three original full
length needles for the syringe. Other than the
manufacturer’s name on the syringe, the set is unmarked,
however the color, style and weight of the wrapper is
obviously made for military use.
This is an unusual piece to
display with your early 20Th Century cavalry
collection and a unique piece of US Army Veterinarian
medical equipment.
