Description

🩴 Tiny cure for tired feet
Original antique In‑Step Laboratory free sample tin from Wayne, New York, dating to the early 1900s patent‑medicine era.
The lid reads “FOR AILING FEET RUB WELL INTO SKIN” around a bold IN‑STEP logo with “Prepared only by In‑Step Laboratory, Wayne, N.Y. – Free Sample” along the bottom.

🏥 Small‑town ‘laboratory’ charm
Before national drug brands took over, small companies like In‑Step branded themselves as “laboratories” and offered liniments and salves to people on their feet all day.
This pocket‑size sample tin is exactly the sort of giveaway a country doctor or traveling salesman would have handed to shop clerks, factory workers, and travelers.

🧴 Details

  • Round metal sample tin, about 1 inch across.

  • New old stock from long‑stored pharmacy inventory, tins are empty.

  • You will receive one tin like the ones shown, all from the same NOS batch.

🎯 Made for display
Perfect for antique pharmacy, quack medicine, barber‑shop, and country‑store displays, or with vintage shoe and boot advertising.
That single line—“For ailing feet rub well into skin”—gives it instant personality in any case or shadow box. 🦶💊
