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.
