Heavy Brass Aspirin Pill Box – Mid-Century American Twist-Top Container Novelty

About the Item

This vintage brass aspirin box is a sculptural and functional collectible from the mid-20th century, believed to have been made in the United States between the 1940s and 1960s. Designed with a bold embossed “ASPIRIN” across the top, the piece mimics an oversized tablet and features a twist-top mechanism that opens to a small interior compartment—ideal for storing pills, jewelry, or keepsakes. Likely produced as a novelty or promotional desk accessory during the height of aspirin branding in the U.S., this solid brass container has a substantial weight and a smooth, minimalist silhouette that makes it a striking object for collectors of medical memorabilia, vintage apothecary items, or mid-century modern decor. The brass surface has developed a rich, natural patina over time. For those who prefer a more polished look, we offer complimentary brass cleaning upon request. A rare and curious piece that blends design and history, perfect for styling on a desk, vanity, or shelf. We ship all orders with care within 24–48 hours.
