Excellent. (8.3). These aren't actually opium vials, but have become known as that. They held some form of medicine. This has the original stopper and applicator, so must have held some form of topical substance that needed to be applied by an applicator. Some wear to the gold leaf writing. Great example of an unusual item. Estimate: $20-30
