Description
From the sellerThe product is an empty box of corn-killing plasters from the M.R. Kelly Co. in Joliet, dating back to 1906. These plasters were likely used for medicinal purposes to treat corns on the feet. This item falls under the category of antique apothecary, specifically from the pre-1930 era. The brand name "HONEST JOHN" suggests a level of honesty or reliability in the company's products. Very cool vintage graphics. Box is in great condition. I have not been able to find any pics of another one like this. Look at all pictures as part of the description.
