Antique medicine box containing Schering & Glatz Urotropin is an interesting specimen of medical and pharmaceutical history.

Developed at the dawning of the mega commercial pharmaceutical industry, Urotropin was the first branded proprietary product of the drug hexamethylenetetramin. Heavily marketed to physicians, the brand name Urotropin became synonymous with hexamethylenetetramin.

The small rep sample has pretty floral packaging but please note that the apothecary box is in poor condition showing obvious signs of wear and age. It appears to have been opened at one time and then taped closed again. The box has split along one side. Box is marked "Trial Sample."

This is an antique pharmaceutical product being sold as display piece not for use.

This small still globe bank overlaid with Denoyer Geppert paper gores is a super scarce find. The antique world globe would make an unusual and rare addition to your collection.

Made by the Miller Bank Service, the advertising globe has an enameled plaque at the North Pole stating "Gibraltar Savings & Building Association." The vintage globe is marked in the Indian Ocean:
Pat. Applied For
Miller Bank Service
Chicago
Map by
Denoyer Geppert Co.

The Denoyer Geppert globe gores show brown spotting and discoloration typical of paper that has been pasted over metal. The browning obscures some of the globe's features. With a magnifying loupe and a close look you can identify the Japanese Empire, Constantinople in Turkey, Leningrad (changed from Saint Petersburg in 1924), and much more.

There are some spots of paper loss most notably on the Southern Hemisphere just below the Equator in the Pacific Ocean.

The miniature hollow metal orb easily comes off its metal spindle which is mounted on a what appears to be a heavily vanished wooden base.

There are a few coins rattling around inside the globe bank. To maintain the integrity of this antique globe bank in its found condition, I have not tried to separate the orb to retrieve the coins.

This solid copy of Edward Bulwer Lytton's Alice or the Mysteries was published by John Wanamaker, the famous Philadelphia department store, circa 1920. First published at the dawn of the Victorian era, Alice is a sequel to Lytton's Ernst Maltravers.

Popular in his day and known for his "purple prose," Lord Lytton coined what is possibly the most often quoted opening line of a novel, "It was a dark and stormy night," as well as the phrase, "The pen is mightier than the sword."

The vintage book shows obvious wear from the passage of time and use. The top of the spine is fraying and the paper is tanning. There are various pencil marks on the front endpapers as well as an old sticker address sticker.

Keith Johnston's Historical Atlas, also known as The Half-Crown Atlas of British History is a small atlas containing 31 beautiful colored maps.

The antique maps begin with England (Britannia Under the Romans) and continue through history up to Europe during the late Continental Wars (1848-1870). The slim map collection concludes with an overview of the world showing British possessions and dependencies. The atlas includes an index of all place names shown on the maps.

The antique book has a beautiful cover with tooling and gold gilt lettering and decoration. All maps are present but the sewn binding is weak. The front right hand-side endpaper has come loose and has the name of the previous owner in ink along with the date and other notations. The antique maps could easily be separated and framed individually for home decor.

The book measures 7 1/2" by 5 1/4".

Small, leather-bound New Testament Bible is the perfect size to fit into a pocket. The vintage New Testament has a worn leather cover and a gift inscription with a poem to its former owner:

"May this be your testimony, Bill.
Your friend in Christ, Roy

There are books,
and there are friends
Of every type and kind,
But one book,
and yes, one Friend
are ever
In my mind."

This is a vintage book from the early 1940s. It shows wear and is in fair condition. The back hinge is broken and the spine is beginning to weaken. There are a few pencil notations in the book. The book would make a nice decor element in a religious display.
