Remarkable set of six antique glass Pulvules medicine tubes, each with its original typed paper label and metal screw cap. These were used in the early 1900s for barbiturate and compound preparations such as Sodium Amytal, Amytal with Salicylic, and Theamin Amytal, each carefully marked in grains.


The typography and glass form are consistent with hospital or military medical supply use between 1910–1930. These were precision-made laboratory containers, now highly collectible for their industrial-medical aesthetic.
