Vasenol Wound and Burn Bandage in Box pre-WWII if you wrote down somethingI was unable to date this but it seems like it would be pre war. It is a sort of plaster or powder covered cloth bandage in its original box. Made by Vasenol, the company probably best known for its foot and body powder. The box is a little worn, with one end closure missing. The graphics are still nice. The bandage is unused and still mostly wrapped in the original wax paper. The box measures about 4 1 4" long.
