We love little vintage tins hailing from the 1930s. We just love the name
FIXACO and the little guy on the top! Measuring just 1-5/8 inch wide by 1-1/8 high and about 1/4 inch deep, they are perfect for those little items on your workbench or studio
table. And they can be used in any assemblage as well.
The lid slides off, so you might convert one into a pocket shrine! These show their age with a few tiny scratches, but the colors are vibrant and, overall, they are in great condition.
Each vintage container boasts the same graphics and writing. On the top it reads:
FIXACO
REG.U.S.PAT.OFF.
The Unique
Throat Confection
FOR COUGHS
VOICE - BREATH
10¢
The short sides each read:
FIXACO
On one long side:
SORE THROAT - HOARSENESS
And on the other:
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: LICORICE,
MENTHOL, ANISE, GLYCERINE.
And on the bottom, it reads:
FIXACO is something different
It is highly concentrated and effective. Don't
chew Fixaco. Hold in roof of mouth until dis-
solved. Use freely. For Coughs, Colds, Sore
Throat, Hoarseness. Excellent for Children's
coughs.

After smoking, Fixaco moistens mouth and
throat, also sweetens the breath.

The Fixaco Co., St. Louis
Too bad they don't make these little lozenges today. They sound pretty tasty!
We're showing three images so that you can see the top and bottom and a tin that is open.
