By 1892 bottles were mass produced in factories. Green and Black glass bottles were common for alcohol and medication due to the harmful effects sunlight can have on such things. It is heavily suggested that a player use plastic bottles. If a player uses glass bottles, the glass must be thick enough that the bottle is in no danger of breaking should it fall on a concrete floor.
A chemistry set consists of beakers, graduated cylinders, droppers, flasks, beaker stand, LED or other fake burners, and a mortar and pestle. Pick at least two separate items from this list and those two (or more) items will be valid for a prop.
Lock picks were often a set of 6 or more metal tools with various sizes of hooks and points. These were kept in a small case that is easy to access and conceal. For the purpose of game, any collection of three small metal tools within a case, purse, or bag will be valid for a prop.
Stills were originally made of copper and comprised of several components - a boiling pot, a coil, and a receptacle. This was a three part system that handled both the fermentation, evaporation, and condensation of the alcohol within it. For the purpose of game, any pot with a lid will be valid for a prop.
Surgical tools of the era were often kept in a wooden box, this box was sometimes lined in felt or velvet. The most common tools for a surgeon were a bone saw, scalpels of various sizes, tourniquets, forceps, and a bone chisel. There were a great deal of other tools used in the era but these are the main tools. Pick at least two separate items from this list and those two (or more) items will be valid for a prop. A player must have a safe way to carry these items with them. Any tool with a blade must be dulled and taped over so completely that no sharp edge can be felt. The tape cannot be packing tape or scotch tape and must be duct tape, gaff tape, masking tape, athletic tape, line tape, electrical tape.
