Small vintage Veganine 20 tablets old advertising pharmacy box

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a small antique Véganine tablet box, as shown in the photo. It is an elongated rectangular promotional pharmacy packaging with a hinged lid. The box features dominant burgundy red and yellow colors, with clearly legible white lettering on the top and side. On the top, "20 comprimés Véganine" (20 Véganine tablets) is written in capital letters, clearly identifying the brand and product type.

On the visible side, the box details the indications for use: "Névralgies, Migraines, Grippe, Courbatures Fébriles, etc." (Neuralgia, Migraines, Flu, Febrile Aches, etc.) as well as the partially legible composition, notably mentioning "Codeïnum", "Narcécium" and other pharmaceutical substances of the era. The general appearance evokes mid-20th-century medicine packaging, with typical graphics from the 1950s-1960s, although only the typography and style allow for this dating, without formally guaranteeing it.

The edges of the box show a slight patina and some signs of wear, visible on the edges and corners, which attests to its age and authenticity. The cardboard appears solid, with clear printing despite time. No tablets or contents are visible or guaranteed; only the outer box is included in this listing.

The original advertising design is well preserved, with careful layout and detailed pharmaceutical information, characteristic of old medicinal preparations sold in pharmacies. The whole constitutes a fine example of vintage packaging, appreciated for its retro aesthetic and its value as a historical testament to 20th-century pharmacy.

This Véganine box, with its graphics and bright colors, is a decorative or curious item, typical of old promotional objects related to health and pharmacy. It will easily find its place in a display case, on a desk, or on a vintage-themed shelf.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Visible wear on corners and edges, general patina of the cardboard, legible inscriptions. Empty box (no contents guaranteed).

Did you know? Véganine was a very common medicine in France until the 1970s, combining paracetamol, caffeine, and codeine. Its packaging often evolved, but the colorful cardboard boxes remain emblematic of post-war French pharmacy.
