Rawleigh's Bottle and Salve Tin.






The famous Rawleigh's company has been in business from 1889 until today.  They started out with a door to door medicine store service, and the travelling Rawleigh Man became a fixture in American, Canadian and Australian towns and villages.  Rawleigh's still uses independent representatives to sell its products today.  There is a lot of information about this company; check out their website.  The bottle stans 6 1/4" tall and is an older one without the screw top.  The tin has a  3 1/4" diameter and is quite ornate, though in rough shape.  The founder, W.T. Rawleigh,  is prominently featured on the tin.
