Description

Sharp and Dohme 'Sucrets' Antiseptic Throat Lozenges Tin -- This flat rectangular gold and navy tin once held twenty-four antiseptic throat lozenges and proudly boasts germicidal activity tested against Staphylococcus aureus. Made in Philadelphia by Sharp and Dohme, the back panel reads like a mini science lecture, complete with Mulford Biologicals branding. The tin shows honest age with surface wear, paint loss, and patina, but the lithographed label remains highly legible. A classic piece of mid-century American pharmaceutical packaging that any medicine tin collector would love to dissolve slowly.

Astor 'The Best' Rubbed Sage Spice Tin -- Bold blue and orange lithography makes this little rectangular tin impossible to miss, advertising Astor Rubbed Sage from Astor Products Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida. The top features a classic perforated shaker lid with a sliding cover panel, now heavily rusted and worn but still operable. Principal uses listed include pork dishes, fish, poultry, stuffings, brown sauces, consomme, cream soups, and fish chowders. A charming mid-century kitchen relic that practically smells like Thanksgiving.

Plough Inc. 'Unsurpassed Pain Relief' Tablet Tin -- This small hinged rectangular tin from Plough Inc. of New York and Memphis still contains two white tablets and features bold maroon and white lithography on both sides. The back lid panel is a marvel of vintage pharmaceutical confidence, claiming relief from headaches, sinus pain, arthritis, rheumatism, menstrual distress, flu, and even post-dental extraction pain. Directions inside, children keep out -- the full mid-century medicine cabinet experience in a pocket-sized tin.

Dr. Frank Ear Stopple Tin -- Size 6, priced at fifty cents when new, this small round metal tin with a yellow paper label still contains its original pair of rubber ear stopples in surprisingly good condition. The stopples are reddish-brown vulcanized rubber with a flanged mushroom shape, designed for noise reduction or water protection. The tin itself is plain silver metal with a press-fit lid, and the label is clean and fully legible. A genuinely rare and oddly delightful find for the vintage medical or pharmacy collectibles crowd.
