This Vintage Tin of Cuticura Ointment, was made for The Purex Corporation of Batavia, Illinois, and prepared by the Canadian Cuticura Laboratories. It's a small round tin with a removable pull-top, and the bonus is that there are still contents! The graphics are clear and stunning, in both imperial and metric. The base is deep orange, and the top is white with black and orange printing. A really excellent vintage tin. Made in Canada. Size: 2 inch dia x .75 inch high.
DID YOU KNOW? Cuticura's origin extends back over four generations to 1865. Cuticura was among the very first medicated soaps to be sold commercially in the United States. Medicated Cuticura Ointment, with its unique active ingredients, was developed and sold as a treatment for minor skin discomfort, infections, and wounds in the pre-antiseptic era. www.cuticura.com
