CIVIL WAR PERIOD APOTHECARY BOX.

CIVIL WAR PERIOD APOTHECARY BOX. Attributed to “N.B. DREWRY, 30th GEORGIA”. The case is a 7” x 12” x 9-1/2” hinged wooden box. Contains compartments for various medicine bottles with ground glass stoppers, medicine bottles with corks. Some bottles have indiscernible paper labels. Several are readable from apothecaries in Cincinnati, OH and Savannah, GA. The consignor’s letter of provenance tells of his father finding this medical apothecary in an antique store in Florida in 1986. Some of the medicine bottles are marked as follows: “Quinine,” “Ipecac,” “Syrup Squills,” “Camoel,” “Leptandrin,” among others. Also contained with this lot is a sixth-plate tintype of a young man with hands folded in his lap, presumably Dr. Drewry. Inside lid is written in black ink “N.B. DREWRY, GRIFFIN, GEO., 30TH GEO.” Also in the box is a cased spring-loaded fleam, a glass cupping device, a pestle, ivory spoon, corkscrews, and corks for bottles. The 30th Regiment of Georgia Volunteers lists N.B. Drewry as regimental surgeon in 1863. This unit served in the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Later, the regiment moved to Mississippi, forming the brigade of Colonel C.C. Wilson. In November of 1863, the 30th Georgia was assigned to the brigade of General Stevens. Under Stevens, the 30th fought at Atlanta, and through the Carolina campaigns, ultimately surrendering with General Johnston in Goldsboro, North Carolina. 4-56157 CW38 (3,500-8,500)
