Rare Assortment of Mid-20th Century Medical Ephemera from Ontario Estate
Step back in time with this charming collection of authentic vintage medical bottles, jars, and empty pharmaceutical packaging, sourced from a local Ontario estate.

All items are in good vintage condition – showing patina from age, but no major chips, cracks, or damage unless noted. Empty and safe for display; no hazardous residues. Largest bottle measures about 7” tall.
• Empty Packaging & Boxes (10+ Items):
• Bayer’s Diaper Rash Ointment: Iconic 1950s Canadian green cardboard box (Canada’s Favourite Baby Ointment, bilingual English/French, advertised in Dr. Spock’s Baby & Child Care). Intact with colorful graphics – a nostalgic gem for baby product collectors.
• Eli Lilly Crystodigin (Digitalis Heart Medication): Green paper-wrapped tube (0.2mg professional sample, 1950s). Rare pharma branding; the poison-labeled tube is a standout.
• Alflorone Acetate Ointment: Blue Merck & Co. box (0.025% topical cream sample, emollient base) – mid-century steroid cream packaging.
• Aquasol DeLafax: Green box for vitamin A cream (5ml tube sample).

This lot captures the essence of 1940s-1960s North American pharmacy history, with Canadian ties (e.g., Dominion Glass)
Great for bottle shows, or staging a vintage vanity.
Condition Notes: All pieces display beautifully with authentic wear – light etching on glass from age, faded but readable labels on boxes. No contents; emptied for safety.
