Stanislas Limousin Mortar Pestle & Set Vintage 1984 Pharmacal Inventor

Pharmacists have long used the mortar and pestle as their emblem, and this gold-tone set from Schering Corp. honors one of them. Its raised portrait medallion pictures Stanislas Limousin, the 19th-century pharmacist known for the ampoule, with the words Pharmacal Inventor. It would look good on a desk, a bookshelf or an apothecary display, and it makes a nice gift for a pharmacist or pharmacy student.
