It originally hawked Victory Chlorodyne Lozenges for colds and coughs (ah, the golden age of self-medication). Today, it's far more delightful as a quirky shelf piece—or a retro lunch box with serious character. The faux-wicker exterior has held its color very well. Whether you're storing snacks, postcards, or your secret stash of cough drops, this piece brings history and humor to any space.
