| I'm not really sure how old this trunk is...but I think it is from the 40's or 50's. |
 |
| This is a special trunk, as it belonged to Dr Moss....one of my daddy's Dr's many years ago. |
 |
| It was made by Indestructo and I think they made this type of trunk from 1900-1950. |
 |
| I have an old Dr's bag on the trunk ......very old and fragile. |
 |
| I found it last month at a cute antique shop in Canton Tx...$20. |
 |
| This is a Rx file from 1956. |
 |
| After your prescription was filled, the pharmacist would stick it on this metal "filing system"...pretty simple filing system! It was a Phillips' Rx File.....no relation to me..lol! Most of the hundreds of prescriptions that were on this "file" when I bought it, were from $1.50 to $3.75. |
 |
| I thought this 1914 medical book on "Organ otherapy" would make a great addition to a Halloween vignette! |

ReplyDeletePenny, you have such great vintage treasures, and did a wonderful job using them in your Halloween decor. I started a new link party this week called We Call It Olde. It's for anything antique, vintage, or history-related. I'd love for you to join in each week. Starts on Tuesdays but runs all week. This post would be perfect, hope to see you there! Take care - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
ReplyDeletePenny, that is an awesome display and I love how you actually knew the owner of the trunk! I always think it makes the pieces so much more special when they have a story! I'm so glad you shared at our fall link up! :) Kim @ Exquisitely Unremarkable
ReplyDeletePenny, that is an awesome display...it's almost theatrical, so much detail. I love the trunk and the fact that you actually knew the owner.

ReplyDeleteLovely treasures! I love the vintage Dr's bag; it once served a special purpose...
ReplyDeleteI love this Penny! I just sold a steamer trunk and an old Dr's bag at a vintage sale that I held for my sis. I loved them, but keep everything. The contents in your bag make it even more of a treasure. Love your fun vignette! Thanks for sharing it with SYC.

ReplyDeleteThe trunk is great, but the old doctor's bag is my favorite. When my son's wife began medical school he searched and searched until he found her a vintage doctor's bag to use.
