OK I AM READY FOR ANY INJURY THAT HAPPENS TO COME MY WAY TODAY ! IN A VINTAGE KIND OF WAY

Hi there so happy you could come by , I am excited to share this with you, a very old first aide kit. It does look kind of scary though, being a certified first aide /CPR specialist it still looks scary!. I happen to be scanning the back shed way on the top of a shelf and found this,


A black tin box that seems to include everything one might need for an injury , it so differs from mine. Times have changed this set does not include a mouth piece that is included in my kit. That is a very important part for doing mouth to mouth to prevent diseases. Back then I don't think they were thinking of that. This kit did not include a Snake kit which mine does.......just in case, where we live so very close to the Everglades we always have Snakes slithering about!
 Even an illustrated poster to walk you through your first aide endeavor . I don't see any saran wrap either that I include in mine that will keep wide open incisions in the stomach area in place until the medics arrive. This bottle and these sticks look extremely scary, especially to a wounded patient. You will never guess what's in this little bottle? Well its similar to smelling salts for fainting it is Aromatic Spirit Of ammonia, Yikes! ! !!!

Even safety pins to hold the gauze in place. Also included is a tourniquet, wow! What really looks scary is thoses small sticks!  Double yikes!!! The best part about this Auto kit #8 is that when you use up something they include an envelope so you can send for a replacement free of charge!   


When I saw this kit I thought about how I would display amongst my decorative items and this is what I came up with , I made a sign that I thought would be fitting,


  Thank you so much for stopping by today! I really love the company!!!
