Description
This is a very rare Sulfax Dusting Powder tin container with a full label that covers the entire tin. The contents were made byBoericke & Tafel in their “Laboratories at Philadelphia” as shown on the label.
Boericke & Tafel is one of the oldest companies in America in the medical industry.
The graphics on the label are ornate and detailed and has a "B&T Quality" graphic. It measures 5" tall and about 2" in diameter.
Part of the advertising on the label:
"An ideal dry antiseptic dressing. Non-toxic and harmless, yet, a powerful germicide and bacteriostatic and deodorizer. As a surgical dressing, it combines properties which make it extremely valuable. It is non-irritating and antiseptic. It reduces pain and as it does not coagulate albumin, it does not retard the healing and granulation of wounds."
The label has stains and marks, but there are no major tears and the graphics are all legible. The metal on the lid and bottom has some tarnish, but is in overall good condition. I have not opened the tin, but it sounds like there is a very small amount of powder remaining in the tin. See high resolution photos for more and use the magnify feature.
I offer multiple shipping methods, including USPS 1st Class Mail, Priority Mail, and Fed-Ex Ground/Fed Ex Home Delivery.
