 		[ITEMS] Aromatic Spirit of Ammonia
So, upon an hour after arriving home from ARGfest, I'm greeting by a delivery guy dropping off a nice large box.

squeee!

Bionic Bigfoot has arrived!
and...

A few smaller mysterious items. Perhaps someone can better connect them to the current events? Maybe this post belongs in an existing thread...

#1) A 10cc syringe (no needle) labelled: "B-D YALE / LUER-LOK CONTROL / Becton, Dickinson & Co. [H3771]"

#2) A couple of glass rectangular cylinders

#3) A roll of Aromatic Spirit of Ammonia (haven't opened it, but there is something in side; peeking in one end shows it's packed with cotton, and shaking it a bit feels like there's something heavier inside; seems legitimate to its description below). Best I could find in a quick google about it is from here:
"Ammoniae Spiritus Aromaticus (aromatic spirit of ammonia). Ammonium carbonate is dissolved in ammonia water and water and after 12 hours is added to an alcoholic solution of the oils of lemon, nutmeg, and lavender flowers, after mixing, the solution is allowed to stand for 24 hours, and then filtered. Used as a stimulant and antacid, well diluted."

The ammonia label when read says:
Quote:
AROMATIC SPIRIT OF AMMONIA
2cc.
Alcohol 65 Per Cent
--
For relief of chills, headache and fainting
--
DIRECTIONS: Remove ampoule. Break one end at scoring. Invert and hold open end over edge of glass one half full of cold water. Break remaining end at scoring.

MINE SAFETY APPLIANCES CO., PITTSBURGH, PA.

The small label in the corner says:
Quote:
American Telephone & Telegraph Co. and Associated Companies
(Bell System)


I'm assuming these items are related - a mixture concocted using the ammonia and other ingredients, inserted with the syringe.


Too bad this package didn't come in before argfest - would have been great for the museum =)

Stuff from a medical kit in the 1960's?

 		absolutely stuff from a military medical kit circa 1960. Question is the syringe glass or plastic (if glass, hang on to that they are getting pretty rare to find!)

 		it is indeed glass, and in very good condition. Does this tie in to anything?

 		It is probably a clue to what was found at one of the m-a-r-a locations

 		just for confirmations' sake, Derek replied saying it wasn't him who put in those other articles, and it was like cryptidtruth who intercepted the package before it was mailed Smile
