Up for sale is an incredibly rare, authentic piece of early 20th-century medical history: a vintage "Anti-Flamma" Emergency Poultice Plaster tin complete with its original, matching paper advertisement booklet.
Finding the tin alone is a treat for advertising collectors, but finding it paired with the original paper ephemera from the Bayles Distributing Co. (1806 Grand Ave, Kansas City, MO) is exceptionally rare. Early paper medical booklets were almost universally thrown away, making this a true survivor.
### Item Condition Details:
* Tin: Features vibrant red lithographed graphics of the iconic fire-breathing dragons. Shows minor surface wear, light oxidation around the rims, and a faint patina consistent with age. Includes the original lid. The interior is clean.
* Booklet: Titled "Leg Sores / Book No. 1," this multi-page booklet is fully intact and entirely legible. It displays expected age-toning and gentle handling wear, but no major tears or missing pages that compromise the text.
### Why This Set is Special:
The bold, mythical red dragon graphics give this piece massive crossover appeal. It is a premium addition for collectors of quack medicine, vintage advertising tins, Kansas City local history, or graphic lithography.
