This vintage Elastoplast First Aid Outfit No.1 tin by T.J. Smith & Nephew Ltd. is a classic example of mid-century British medical packaging.

With its bold red enamel finish, crisp white lettering and industrial typography, it captures the practical design aesthetic of the 1950s–1960s.
 
Originally used for assorted elastic adhesive dressings (medicated with Domiphen Bromide), this sturdy rectangular tin is now an appealing collectors’ item — perfect for styling on a bathroom shelf, in a vintage shop display, or as quirky storage.
