Hey everyone! If you love history, Victorian oddities, and early pharmaceutical packaging as much as I do, you are going to want to see what we just listed over at The Vintage Paper Vault today. We’ve been digging through some incredible regional New England estates and historical archives to bring these fascinating relics back to life.
Here is a quick look at the unique historical treasures that just hit our shop:
 Solon Palmer Perfume Display Bottle: A gorgeous piece of late-19th or early-20th-century vanity history from one of America's earliest iconic perfumers, capturing that classic turn-of-the-century aesthetic.
 Antique Pharmaceutical Packaging & Tins: Pristine-condition medical ephemera featuring rare vintage pill and tablet boxes from legendary names like Parke, Davis & Co., showcasing stunning typography and original graphic design.
 Fraisse's Neurothenic Ampoules: A striking vintage glass ampoule set in its original box—an absolute must-have for any serious collector of early European pharmaceutical history.
 Vintage Patent Medicine & Poison Bottles: Classic embossed glass bottles, including vintage survivals like St. Jacobs Oil and rare ophthalmic medications like Holocaine Hydrochloride, complete with their original embossed warning text.
Every single one of these pieces tells a story about how medicine, marketing, and daily life intersected over a century ago. Whether you're building out a cabinet of curiosities or looking for authentic historical display pieces, these are now live and ready for a new home.

Been sicker than a 1904 St. Louis Olympian who accidentally drank raw egg rat poisoned brandy, but I wanted to share this.  Railings are up!  Painting and siding have begun.  Looking like it’s old glory days more and more.  Can’t wait to show you the final reveal! 🙌🏻 by @jvpdrum

I owe y’all an update video but I’ve been sicker than the 1518 Dancing Plague of Strasbourg.  Here’s a couple pics of the shop I took this week.  The lattice is down off the porch, the railings are up and the siding is going up!  Looks like the General Store once again. by @jvpdrum
