Glencoe Models 5404 1/48 Medicine Wagon

Plastic Model Kit

Recreate a distinctive piece of frontier transportation with this 1/48 scale plastic model of a classic medicine wagon. These colorful traveling wagons were a familiar sight across 19th- and early 20th-century America, carrying traveling salesmen who promoted patent medicines and other remedies in towns, settlements, and rural communities. Often decorated with bold lettering and elaborate graphics to attract attention, medicine wagons became an enduring symbol of the era’s colorful—and sometimes questionable—approach to health products and advertising.
