Vintage FLUON regulator circa 1940s with box

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique box from the brand FLUON is a remarkable testament to French popular pharmacy of the 1940s. The item visible in the photo is an original, rectangular box, displaying on its front face the inscription "FLUON" in red letters on a white background, accompanied by the mention "Circulation regulator based on plants and vitamin P". The box has a pale yellow background, printed text in red and black, and a typography characteristic of the mid-20th century.

The visible side details the product's uses, such as poor circulation, heavy legs, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, chilblains, menopausal and puberty disorders, painful periods, and visible veins. The packaging perfectly illustrates the pharmaceutical trends of the era, highlighting natural benefits and vitamin P, a common argument in health communication at the time.

The box, made of printed cardboard, shows visible signs of age: slightly crushed corners, signs of wear, and a uniform patina over the entire surface. The lid is deformed, but the printing remains legible and the colors relatively well preserved for its age. An "M2-P" marking is also visible on the upper part.

The mention "avec boîte d'origine" (with original box) in the keywords implies that the bottle itself normally accompanies this packaging, although only the box is visible in the photo. No details of the contents or the bottle are observable in this image; the description therefore remains focused on the outer packaging.

This type of object, highly representative of old remedies, is appealing for its retro design and the richness of its printed indications. It is an authentic piece for those interested in the history of pharmacopoeia or wishing to display a relic of bygone medical advertising.

Condition

Did you know? Vitamin P historically referred to a group of flavonoids, used in the pharmacopoeia of the 1930s-1950s for their supposed beneficial action on the resistance of blood vessels. Many supplements of that era highlighted plants as a source of "vitamin P," before the evolution of regulations on health claims.
