Description

This listing is for an antique bottle of the Plasmarine brand, presented in its original box. The visible item is a vintage pharmaceutical package, used for a polymineralized marine analgesic. On the front, the original inscriptions typical of the 1940s are clearly visible, with a sober graphic aesthetic, typical of mid-20th century French pharmacy.

The box has a trapezoidal shape, with marked angles and a visible opening at the top. The surface of the packaging shows signs of wear and friction, particularly on the edges and top, indicative of its age. The design is dominated by a large red band bearing the inscription "PLASMARINE," accompanied by blue and red texts on a cream background, typical of pharmaceutical products of the era.

The main inscriptions, perfectly legible, state: "Polymineralized marine analgesic," "energetic - pleasant," and specify the composition: "calcium phosphates, iodine, manganese, marine plasma." Numerous therapeutic indications are printed at the bottom of the box, such as "deficient general state," "insomnia," "weight loss," "demineralization," "growth disorders," among others.

At the bottom of the visible side, the mention "Laboratoires La Bionarine" as well as the laboratory's address in Boucquy (Seine) are clearly printed, reinforcing the authenticity of this antique pharmaceutical item. The typography and graphic composition are perfectly representative of the 1940s, with a functional and informative layout.

The box is placed on a light wooden table, in a bright environment, which allows for observation of its general condition. No accessories or internal contents are visible in this photograph; only the outer box is presented.
