JSG ESTATE LIQUIDATION

This remarkable collection of antique and vintage medical instruments represents a significant assemblage of early-to-mid 20th century physician's equipment, anchored by a Becton Dickinson & Company B-D Yale Luer-Lok glass syringe set complete with its original Certificate of Examination dated December 1951, issued from Rutherford, N.J. The centerpiece is a handsome black leatherette hinged two-tier case with royal blue velvet lining, containing multiple glass pipettes, a bulb pipette, a cleaning brush, wire loop tool, rubber-tipped instrument, and several small vials with red and black caps, all secured with black elastic straps — consistent with a physician's field or office kit. Also included is what appears to be an early rubber tubing for a stethoscope with amber/yellow tubing and red-tipped earpieces, a burgundy-cased syringe set with glass barrels and metal fittings, a Rythmol-branded pharmaceutical pen/letter opener in original blue plastic sleeve, a small electronic device (possibly a vintage slide viewer or dispenser), and an Adams-branded label visible inside the case. The Becton Dickinson company, founded in 1897, was among the most prestigious American medical instrument manufacturers, and their Yale Luer-Lok syringes were considered the gold standard of precision glass syringes in mid-century medical practice, making this collection highly desirable to medical antique collectors and museum curators. Condition is Good to Very Good overall: the leatherette case shows light wear with some white residue to one corner and minor edge scuffing; the glass instruments appear intact without visible chips or cracks; the rubber stethoscope tubing retains flexibility but shows age-related yellowing; the Certificate of Examination paper is intact with toning and partial obscuring from overlaid instruments; the velvet lining is intact with minor compression wear. A rare and cohesive grouping of mid-century American medical collectibles ideal for the serious antique medical instrument collector.
