Expiration date on the vile is 1968. The line on the top flap is where it was originally sealed, it is not a crease. I have not seen another one of these, in this condition. The LAST 2 pictures, show the Polio Vaccine Vial and box that is in the Smithsonian Museum collection. As you can see, the one in this listing is in superior condition.

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.
I exhausted my resources searching the internet for this instrument. The only thing I found was a photo of the exact one in the Institute Of Evolutionary Medicine at the University Of Zurich, in their Medical Instrument Collection. I reached out to them to see if they could help me identify what I had. Fine Arts with the Medical Collection And Human Remains Collection responded with this answer. It was used to produce the thinnest slices of human organ preparations. A sample of the organ in question was introduced into the tubular element of the microtome and very sharp blades were then used to cut thin slices off the sample by moving it upwards inside the tube. Then the slides would be analyzed microscopically. It comes with a wooden case(the one in Zurich did not have a case). The microtome measures 4 ¼” wide by 3 ½” deep and stands 4? High. The box measures 5″ wide by 4 3/15″ deep and 5 ½ high. There is a chip in the black plate on the top and there is discoloration to the brass, these flaws are expected because of the age and use. This would make a wonderful addition to your antique medical equipment collection, as it is a rare find.
