Well, we headed over to Ft. Myers Beach on Saturday morning and will be heading home tomorrow afternoon to return to the old grind.
While here, we hit a few thrift stores, to search for eBay inventory, and yesterday I ran across a little jewel that dates to the late 1800’s. It falls under the “medical quackery” designation which is very collectible. It had been in a local doctor’s collection according to the store owner.
Anyway, the best I can tell, it should bring anywhere from $150-$300. [emoji16]

All the accessories are stored under the little drawer face inside the box.

I found this little hand-written note glued onto the back of the drawer face:
This is the “Williams”. (Rarest).
The final pic is what I paid for it! ($10.50) [emoji16][emoji106]
