    The American Medical Association (AMA) advertised this topper in a 1925 edition of The Journal of the American Medical Association to licensed physicians for .50. It is brass and embellished with a red, white, and green baked enamel design. The symbol of a serpent entwined around a pole is known in the medical world as the Staff of Asclepius, and has long been used by many medical associations as part of their logos. In Greek mythology, Asclepius was the god of healing and medicine.
