A small cylindrical box of Salter's dental floss, known as "Aseptic Dental Floss," was emblematic of dental hygiene in the early 20th century. This vintage model features a striking lithograph in red, cream, and blue, depicting a scene and detailed commercial information. Designed to hold waxed silk floss, the box has a hole in the side for the floss to emerge, a typical detail of this type of packaging. An object straddling the line between pharmacy, hygiene, and advertising, it is now highly sought after.
