Description:
This vintage medical tin from the mid-20th century dates approximately from the 1930s–1950s and was used to hold Regesan Catarrh Pastilles, medicinal lozenges marketed in the United Kingdom for relief of colds, bronchitis, hay fever, and respiratory discomfort. Made from lithographed tinplate, the tin features an Art Deco-inspired design with a deep black background, a geometric red cartouche, and cream-gold decorative details. The lid preserves the original branding and medical advertising text, reflecting the style of British pharmaceutical packaging and healthcare advertising from that period.
