This rare Otis Clapp & Sons Homeopathic Medicine Case dates from the late 19th to early 20th century and is a remarkable relic from the golden age of apothecaries. Crafted in sturdy wood and covered with embossed black leather, the case features elegant gold lettering reading “Otis Clapp & Sons Homeopathic Medicine Case”—a prestigious name in 19th-century American pharmacy.
The box opens to reveal its original paper-lined interior, divided into two compartments that once held glass vials of homeopathic remedies. The delicate brass latch and original hinges remain intact, with a lovely aged patina.
A small section of the interior lining shows a minor tear, typical for its age, which only adds to its authentic antique character. Overall, this piece displays beautifully—a perfect addition to any pharmacy memorabilia, medical collection, or vintage curiosity cabinet.
