DRUGSTORE TINS AND THEIR PRICES
by Al Bergevin, Wallace-Homestead Book Co., PA, 1990 .
“Before the days of media advertising, manufacturers relied solely on the packaging to sell the product.  This resulted in some of the most artistic, innovative, and collectible tins ever made.”  Some of the tins in this book include cosmetics, cough drop tins, dental hygiene, foot care, hair products, laxative tins, medical/curative tins, prophylactic tins, samplers, shoe care, shaving products, sundries, and talcum powder.  This early out-of-print book would make a fine addition to the permanent library of the collector, dealer, or historian of antique tins.
6” x 9” softback in very good condition.  284 pages.
