Paragon Vintage Car First Aid Kit — Mid-Century Canvas Roll, 1950s

A charming Paragon first aid kit in its original canvas roll bag, dating from the 1950s or early 1960s. Car first aid kits of this type were a standard accessory for the conscientious British motorist of the era — kept in the boot and rarely used, which is why so many survived. The Paragon brand was a well-known supplier of motoring accessories in the mid-20th century. A lovely piece of everyday British motoring history with real period character.
