The case is 4″ long and just under 1.5″ in diameter. This is a rare old piece of medical equipment and there are a couple of these on display in Museums like the Smithsonian. Exactly it’s purpose is not clear. It could be used as a mold to make suppositories. It could be used to insert them but it is not clear how it would work since there is no plunger to push the suppository out of the holder. From the estate of a medical doctor.
