Set of 6: Soovain Medicine Tins

Set of 6 Vintage Medical Collectibles – Soovain 25¢ Tablets (Empty Tins)

An intriguing group of six vintage Soovain medical collectible tins, offering a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century pharmaceutical history.

These are the original metal tins that once held the medicine. Each tin is completely empty, and no pharmaceuticals or medicinal products are included or being sold.

Each Soovain 25¢ tin originally contained 12 five-grain tablets, with each tablet formulated with:

• 2 grains Acetphenetidin

• Aspirin

• Caffeine

Manufactured for The Soovain Company of San Diego, California, Soovain was marketed as a palliative for simple pain and discomfort, including headaches, neuralgia, and muscular soreness.

Today, these tins are appreciated strictly for their historical, graphic, and collectible value, making them a compelling addition to collections focused on:

• Medical ephemera

• Pharmaceutical advertising

• Early pain-relief remedies

• Americana and drugstore history
