Pape's Cold Compound Antique Patent Medicine

Add a classic piece of early 20th-century patent medicine history to your collection with this original cardboard container of Pape’s Cold Compound (Pape, Thompson & Pape Co., Cincinnati, Ohio).

Aggressively advertised across American newspapers in the 1910s and 1920s, Pape’s Cold Compound was touted to "break a cold in a few hours" and relieve headache, neuralgia, fever, and grippe.

Featuring traditional typography, a distinct cylindrical cardboard container, and original cap directions ("Follow same Directions for HEADACHE and Neuralgia Pains"), this piece displays wonderfully in antique apothecary cabinets, pharmacy setups, oddity collections, or retro prop shelf displays.
