Antique WA Apothecary Co Kalgoorlie Carbolic Tooth Powder Tin

Great bit of Western Australian advertising history — original Carbolic Tooth Powder tin from W.A. Apothecary Co, Kalgoorlie, with named proprietor A.E. Fairfoul.

Proper early local chemist packaging — this is the sort of thing that sat on a shelf in a Goldfields pharmacy.

Features:

• Lithographed tin lid with bold red & gold design
• “Carbolic Tooth Powder” branding
• Kalgoorlie retailer marking (nice local interest piece)
• Compact round form

Strong crossover appeal: WA history + pharmacy + advertising tin collectors.

Condition

• Heavy age wear, patina and surface rust
• Litho still readable with good colour remaining
• Scratches and edge wear throughout
• Untouched, as found

This is about character, not perfection.

Dimensions

Approx 6–7 cm diameter
