Selling very much as is and as found in an attic. The display box is stained, warped & unglued. The roll cap packages also have stains, though in better shape than the display box.

The Backes company was started in 1876 by Michael Backes for fireworks production. In 1962 they stopped making fireworks and were making cardboard boxes.

Lot of Vintage Pharmacy Medicine Bottle Labels from a long closed Haverhill, MA pharmacy - $71.00

S&H included for US sales (all others contact us first)
I'd guess these gummed back labels are mostly mid 20th century. The Tilton Corner pharmacy was closed in the 1980s and Stanley Blake, the pharmacist listed on the labels had retired much earlier. The numbers of labels are approximates only - they were estimated by counting a sampling. Also while the majority still seem to be ready to stick some of them have been damp at some time and occasionally there are labels stuck together.

mid 20th century
Mfd. by Permanent Sign &Display Co. Inc. Reading PA.
Each 5 3/8" X 16"
Judging from the cut up Eureka sign (Eureka Quick Dry Enamel Color Chart), they are vinyl covered paper over tin.
The Ferro Bond sign is in very good condition with a few minor marks which might be removable with some care. The Eureka paint sign has some splits and pieces cut out. Still has a charming graphic of a housewife in an apron painting her kitchen cabinets.

S&H included for US sales (all others contact us first)
Each printed on one side on newsprint.
The 2 pages are a collection of store newspaper ads that show different stores each with an ad for men's suits made by Timely Clothes.
Timely Clothes was in business approx. 1934 to 1973
I don't know what the function of these sheets are. One possibility is that the advertising department for Timely Clothes made these ads for their customer stores and these are the proofs.
Size of each: Approx. 22" X 34"
