    Answer to April’s Guess What..?

Among last month’s statements of confusion, we can definitely confirm that it was NOT a multiple inkwell or a paper clip storage container. That takes it off the desk top and relegates it to a late 19th century physician or apothecary shop. It’s an early limited production, hand mixed vaginal suppository mold (tin outer box) with pewter inserts.* *Available for acquisition 5/2000
