A lovely antique glass Minim measure within a Medicine Glass case, circa 1870 to 1930s. This Minim measure, a small cylindrical tube with etched measurements to side, was used for precise liquid measurements with a minim equating to one drop of water. Minim measures were critical for apothecaries and medical practitioners, at a time when liquid dosages were increasingly standardised and precise with concurrent advances in medicine and technology.

Price marked at $100 AUD.

Measurements:  Case measurements 6cm diameter, 7cm height. Minim measure: 4.3cm height, 2,2cm base diameter.

Condition: Excellent antique condition with wear commensurate with age. Original Medicine Glass and Minim measure case missing.
