The bold black-and-gold ROG graphics would have been highly legible under shop lighting, drawing attention to a then-modern liquid bandage alternative. The form bridges late Victorian and early 20th-century pharmaceutical merchandising, where branded display cases functioned as both storage and advertisement.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNew-Skin was introduced in the early 20th century as a liquid bandage alternative to traditional court plaster, and the product-now owned by successors to its original manufacturer-remains commercially available today, making this an early artifact of a still-familiar medical brand.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPaint loss is present on both the front and back ROG panels. The original latch on the door has broken off, causing the door to rest slightly open at all times. Glass panels are intact and in good condition overall. General surface wear and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n4.5\" W x 4\" D x 7\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 18529 - 123025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece will need to ship via freight.
