47 Unique Vintage Items People Found That Transport Us Back in Time

When you come across a can of Salvital from the 1920s advertising blood purification, you begin to realize how much times have changed. It might have been normal back then, but we’re pretty sure people don’t want to purify their blood these days… Maybe it was the cure for all kinds of ailments, from the common cold to demonic possession.

Either way, this vintage can is like a window into a time when people believed in the healing powers of everything from leeches to snake oil. And now, with that can in your hands, you can experience some magic for yourself – assuming you don’t mind the taste of sulfur and magnesium.
