Unique Vintage 1930s Pharmacists / Drugstore Salemans Sample Kit Brockway Glass

Description

This is a Vintage 1930s Pharmacist's / Drugstore Saleman's Sample Kit Brockway Glass.
I was not able to find one of these nor anything like it on ebay, so I think it is probably fair to say that this is a pretty unique / rare item.  It would make a great addition to any collect of pharmacy memorabilia or a broader collection of salesman's samples.
The contents are in remarkable condition.  The paper covering on the box is sun-faded as further detailed in the Condition section.
The samples were made by Brockway Glass Co. Inc.  Their logo is in a muted gold on the label.  The seller attributed this case as being circa 1930s.  That looks correct to me.  There is no date on the sample box nor the case itself.
The samples include:
four brown glass jars and bottles in various sizes, colored dark to protect the efficacy of medications that are light sensitive.
three clear glass bottles and jars
two clear plastic pill bottles
one opaque milk glass jar for topical medications
a great looking sample two tone, green and white outer box for a pill bottle or jar, with the Rx prescription symbol and a mortar and pestle symbol.
The case is made from heavy cardboard, covered in green paper.  Iit is sbout 11 3/4" x 7" x 1 7/8" high.
We also have a variety of  antique and vintage glass bottles and jars in our ebay store, including at the time of this original listing, a large store countertop covered jar.
Condition
All of the sample contents are in new, pristine condition.
The paper covering on the box has substantial, overall fading.  I am pretty confident this is from prolonged exposure to the sun at some time in the past.  This can best be evaluated in the photo with the lid raised, where you can see the distinct line between the part of the front panel that was protected from the sun by the closed lid, and the faded part below.  The kit is offered as found / as seen / as described with respect to this fading. As a result of the fading, the gold logo on top is not seen very well when viewed at an oblique angle, but it shows up very clearly when viewed straight on.
