🎄 For the fellow in your life… because socks aren’t supportive enough.
Ladies, Christmas shopping is DONE. ✅
Presenting a circa-1940s Johnson & Johnson J.P. No. 45 Suspensory — still in its original box, with the original contents inside. 🏑
Designed to provide “comfortable support and protection…when such an aid is required.”
But please read the instructions carefully before Christmas morning:
“After first fitting, cut off excess end of waistband, but allow for shrinkage. Do not adjust too tightly.”
Words to live by. 🫶
And should your husband become particularly attached to his new Christmas present, Johnson & Johnson thoughtfully recommends:
“Purchase two so one will always be ready to wear.”
Fortunately, I do have two. ✌️
One navy and one brown detail on the box -both with original contents. 🤎💙
Features include a rust-proofed fastener, elastic insert at front and knitted elastic pouch. Because nothing says Merry Christmas, honey quite like a rust-proof fastener.
Original retail price? 85¢ or $1.40 for the Lister’s with reinforced sewing.
Today? $48 each or $85 for the pair 🤎🤎
Box measures approximately 5.5” × 3.5”. Original vintage Johnson & Johnson packaging with wonderful old medical graphics and age/wear to the box. Original contents remain inside.
An absolutely hilarious stocking stuffer, conversation piece, medical collectible or gift for the man who already has everything and loves vintage advertising pieces.
And if this shows up in his stocking, just remember:
DO. NOT. ADJUST. TOO. TIGHTLY. 🎅🏻
Boxes show wear. Please see all photos.
Thank you! Venmo or PayPal and pirate ship from Indiana. Much love to you and yours,
