The wood itself seems like a piece of driftwood

For some reason I think perhaps German but am really not sure

made for the tourist trade and I don't think very old

Vintage Japanese Medicine Envelope with Great Graphics oak leaves The wood itself seems likeTerrific graphics on this old Japanese medicine packet, which appears to cure both headaches and toothaches.

More or less pristine condition, crisp and clean and with no real signs of use. 5 1 2" x 2 3 4" with flap open. 1940s or 50s I would guess.
