An interesting piece of New Zealand pharmacy and advertising history, this ceramic toothpaste jar lid is embossed for Harold Kane, Gisborne. Once forming part of a reusable toothpaste or dental preparation pot, it offers a glimpse into a time when chemists and pharmacists commonly supplied products in branded ceramic containers.
Items bearing the names of local businesses are highly sought after for their connection to regional history, and this example provides a tangible link to Gisborne’s commercial past. Whether displayed alongside advertising tins, apothecary jars, or New Zealand chemist memorabilia, it makes an appealing collectible with strong local interest.
A scarce survivor from an era of reusable packaging and personalised pharmacy branding.
A charming piece of New Zealand advertising history and a desirable addition to a collection of local or pharmaceutical antiques.
