Vintage Pharmacy Labels
This vintage pharmacy label sampler from 1874 features some beautiful period work. It's filled with easily re-purposed art perfect for any kind of apothecary or medical props.
Absolutely priceless – my favorite so far is the “Worm Confections” packet, kids cry for it! The pharmaceutical industry was completely unregulated until the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act so a lot of wild and dangerous stuff was out there.
and of course for Halloween, who could forget the infamous Tcho Tchocolate Bar – yum yum. Made to special specifications for your enjoyment http://propnomicon.blogspot.com/2007/12/tchocolate-bar.html
