Vintage Iodine Swabs Tin Handy Pad Supply Co Medical Kit

A characterful and authentic early medical tin containing original iodine swabs by Handy Pad Supply Co., Webster, Massachusetts. This compact metal case still retains several of its original wrapped swabs, making it a particularly evocative piece of medical history.

The pale green painted tin has a well-aged surface with honest wear, surface rust, and patina consistent with use. The printed lid remains readable, showing “Ten Iodine Swabs (3½% iodine – 90% alcohol),” which adds strong visual and historical interest. Inside, the remaining swabs are intact but clearly aged and are included strictly for display purposes.

This is exactly the kind of piece that works well for collectors of medical and pharmaceutical items, or as a prop for film, theatre, or interior styling where authenticity matters.
