Antique Treen Apothecary Bottle Case wooden toy skittles set a wine and spirit merchantI just love the shape of these old treen threaded cases, made to hold (and protect) apothecary bottles. The bottle here is long gone, but the box is in great shape, the hardwood gorgeous (lignum vitae?) and surely it could be put to use now holding all sorts of precious things. The lid turns closed easily and holds super tight. 4 1 16" t x 1 7 8" in diameter. There is one tiny chip at the lip, very minor; otherwise excellent condition.
