A Truly Wierd Vintage Find!

Recently Copeland Talking Newspaper, which provides recorded news for the blind and partially sighted folk in West Cumbria, had a grand sort-out!
Amongst the 'goodies' was an old Boots First Aid Kit in its original tin! Thankfully it has been replaced by an up to date version!

 Note the price on the tin!

Many of the original contents remained inside including triangular bandages in paper wrapping, a bottle of Sal Volatile, a metal tube of Germolene Ointment, eye pads, finger dressings, burn dressings a little cardboard box of cotton wool, a box of absorbent lint, a paper envelope of safety pins, and assorted bandages etc.


The supplies in all their (mostly pre-decimal) glory!
The kit is going to be offered on ebay in the hope that a collector of medical-related tat will be so kind as to part with some post-decimal coin of the realm to help CTN's computer fund !
