This authentic antique metal lithographed tin for Walgreen's Seidlitz Powders, manufactured by the Walgreen Co. of Chicago, Illinois, is a fantastic and highly recognizable piece of early 20th-century drugstore Americana.
Dressed in a striking, classic orange and black color scheme, this tin features bold, elegant vintage typography. Seidlitz Powders—an effervescent, fizzing remedy for headaches and indigestion consisting of tartaric acid, sodium bicarbonate, and Rochelle salt—were an absolute staple in early American home medicine chests. This tin is a wonderful representation of Walgreen's early house-brand packaging from the expansion era of their famous pharmacy chain.
Measuring 1.5" tall, 4.5" long, and 3" wide, it remains in excellent antique display condition, showing wonderful legibility, rich colors, and a genuine aged patina with minor, age-appropriate surface wear and light oxidation.
