Vintage Mentholatum White Milk Glass Jar
This is an amazing fine and blast from the past. This jar is from the early 1900s and it held Mentholatum the predecessor to Vicks rub. This jar we have is empty but it is the Mentholatum classic milk glass jar with a tin metal lid. This jar is in good condition with only some scratches on the lid.
approx: 2 3/4in tall, 2 1/4in diameter
weight: 0.3lbs
Originally founded in 1889 by one Alexander Hyde in Witchita, Kansas, Mentholatum Company hit its stride with Mentholatum Ointment, allowing for rapid expansion and eventually relocation to Buffalo, New York in 1903. Mentholatum Ointment was a precursor to that Vick’s VapoRub we all know and love. Let’s talk about that big hit for the company, Mentholatum Ointment and the little white jar that it was originally distributed in. The ointment itself works through a cooling chemical reaction caused by the inclusion of menthol in a petroleum jelly base.
