This is an antique product packaging box for Terkeeween Oil, a patent medicine manufactured by Tydings and Company of Ocala, Florida, dating from approximately 1890 to 1910. The tall, rectangular box is constructed from cream-colored cardstock with black lithographed text and illustrations in a Victorian typographic style. The product was marketed as a multipurpose nerve and bone liniment suitable For Man or Beast. The packaging features two primary display faces with different central illustrations: one depicts a galloping horse, while the other features an oval vignette containing a profile portrait of a Native American figure wearing a feathered headdress. The text lists various intended uses, including treatments for rheumatism, sprains, bruises, stiff and weak joints, chilblains, corks, chafes, galls, cuts, and wounds. The side panels are printed with the product name and the statement Will Not Blister. The base of the front panels identifies the manufacturers as Tydings and Company, Sole Proprietors, Ocala, Fla., with a printed retail price of 50 cents.
