Description: Antique Early 1900s Johnson & Johnson Floss Jar with label and lid with cutting mechanism. No floss. Label is in wonderful condition, lid shows age, jar is ribbed and has no chips, cracks or repairs. Top has a shape of the J&J cross with a hole for the floss to come out. There is a tiny cutter mechanism on the side of the lid. It is pushed flat with the lid but could be corrected. I left alone for the next owner! Label: 150 YARDS WAXED NEW ERA DENTAL FLOSS SILK (surgically clean) "Cut Off" on cap Pkg Pat. Johnson & JohnsonNew Brunswick, NJ USA Made in USA Found this interesting information about this floss jar: "In 1898, Johnson & Johnson was the first mass-market manufacturer of affordable dental floss (made from leftover suture silk). And in the early 1900s, the company’s New Era Dental Floss hit store shelves in a glass container with a novel cutting mechanism on the lid." Visit our store for more Fantastic Finds!
