Description: 1918 Pandemic WWI US Army Wooden Syringe Box M.D. USA Brass Latch Hinge Dovetail NOS This box was originally designed to hold a glass syringe and needles. There is a picture of one with a syringe in it to show how it was designed but there is no syringe or needle included. The box is very well crafted with dovetail joints on the corners. The hinge and the latch are both solid brass. The top is stamped M.D. U.S.A.. The M.D. apparently stands for Medical Department of the Army. This box is made out of hardwood, probably oak or maple. My research shows that these were used from the WWI era through WWII. This is a new old stock NOS item. I discovered several boxes of these at an estate in the Chicago area. The address label shown in the last picture was on one of the boxes, it is not included but you are welcome to copy and print the picture from the listing. The label reads; "From U.S. Army St. Louis Medical Depot St. Louis Missouri. Ship To Salvage Officer St. Louis Medical Depot, Bldg 12 2nd & Arsenal Sts St. Louis, Missouri. It appears to be dated 12/18 for December 1918. This box could be used for many things, it is pocket sized and very strong. Great for anything that you do not want to have crushed. The clips inside could hold small tools or be easily removed with a pair of plyers. The box measures about 3 ½” X 2 ¼” X 1 1/8” on the outside and about 3 ¼” X 1 ¾” X ¾” on the inside.
