Two early wooden pill boxes: 1. Dr Quain's Antibilious Pills, Miles Stapleton & Co, 312 Flinders Street, Melbourne. 2. Hearne's Frootoids, Geelong. (Victoria) Medicine Pills Both are wooden pill boxes with paper labels. 1. 28 mm. 2. 25 mm.. 1900s
1. Very Good. This product was advertised in 1906 through to about 1908. Some stains to the labels but pretty good in general. The side label is obviously torn from opening, but is mostly still in place. A wonderful piece of history, this is about 110 years old! 2. Excellent. Also heavily advertised in the 1900s-1910s period, this is an early pill box too. Some nice knots in the wood from making. Label is quite good. In fact, a wonderful item all round. In double fact - two wonderful items all round! Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
