A rare late Victorian Henri's Medicated Horse Powders Shop Counter Display Case. This decorative case would have held individual cardboard powder packets for sale on the trade counter.
We have managed to find an old Victorian advertisement showing what the packs would have looked like with a testimonial letter from a content customer stating...
'Sirs, I enclose a cheque for account' you will see I want another box. I have always put my foot down against any medicine in the stable, but I find your Horse Condition Powders have an excellent effect and make horses strong who have previously been delicate and poor feeders. It was a hard riding medical man who put me on to them, and he said he always took one out hunting in his pocket. Yours truly, W. Sugden Armitage.' Lancing Manor, Lancing, February 5th, 1899.
