two items, one is medical ? other, boy scout?

[dirtlooter]

The one may be a slide, not sure. the other says NITROGLYCERINE CHANGE PILLS EVERY SIX WEEKS and has a medical symbol on side. the knurled end caps unscrews and has a red O ring to help seal the cavity within. is it a carrying case for pills? I have heard that nitro pills require a special bottle or container. I guess that this might keep them waterproof if it is. Thanks for any help. DL

Nitroglycerin has to be kept out of direct sunlight or it will rapidly lose its potency.

The one that looks like a kerchief slide is a 1920’s-30’s shoe clip.

Pill bottle for angina sufferers.

Fleur de Lis is not a Boy Scout item. ^^ Trust nhbenz.

Yep , I wear one , light and heat can affect your nitro. It is worn around the neck and should keep the nitro cooler than in the bottle in your pocket.

I thought button cover rather than slide. IMHO
