    Description

    I have up for sale a super neat antique - last patent date 1884 Parke , Davis & Co - Detroit , Michigan advertising apothecary "Solomon's Seal" tin.  With Factory Scene Graphics on the front and original red painted tin "Solomon's Seal" script. The tin stands approx 9" tall, approx 4-1/2" wide and 3-1/2" deep.
    Where the patent date is , its rubbed and worn but I have another one of these that I kept for myself , that one I can clearly read the date.
    The front is in very nice shape, the left side by far the most worn with loss down to the underlying metal. The right side is good with some outer margin loss and wear. The back side is quite dark on the upper portion and a bit cloudy on the middle lower sections . Overall its in pretty decent shape considering its approx 130 years old and was used in a pharmacy.
