🔮 SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES... TO THE BOOTH! 🔮
The air is getting a little crisper, and our latest haul has a delightfully dark, Victorian-gothic energy. If your aesthetic leans toward cabinet-of-curiosities, medical history, or the wonderfully eerie, you need to see what we just unpacked.
Step into the past with these hauntingly beautiful new arrivals:
🩸 The Antique Medical & Oddities Collection:
1850s The Matron’s Manual of Midwifery: A highly collectible, once-taboo piece of mid-19th-century history by the controversial Dr. Frederick Hollick, complete with a stunning, hand-colored engraving of Eve in the Garden.
1898 Operative Gynecology (1st Ed): A rare, weathered surgical textbook by Dr. J.F. Baldwin, packed with 147 detailed, eerie anatomical illustrations.
1890s Hitchcock’s Anatomy & Physiology: An incredible student text featuring intricate, ghostly vintage woodcuts of the human frame.
1890 The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser: A massive Victorian compendium of home remedies, “simplified medicine,” and old-school apothecary history.
🧪 From the Laboratory:
Did you know that during Prohibition, the Coors Brewing Company shifted its focus to making highly durable, industrial-grade scientific porcelain? 🍺➡️🧪
We just added some of this incredible piece of history to our booth, including a size 0 Coors USA crucible and an oval capsule box (both with matching lids!). Along with them, we’ve restocked some classic vintage Pyrex and Kimax lab glass.
Whether you’re decorating a haunted library, feeding a fascination with early medical science, or just looking for books with that perfect, aged patina—these treasures are waiting for a new home.
🕰️ Come haunt our booth inside Magpie Market Antiques before they vanish.
