This page shows the 'Randall's' pots originating from Plymouth, Devon
John Richard Randall traded in Plymouth during the last quarter of the 19th century until his death in 1903. He was described as a manufacturer of ointment and/or plasters. The earliest pots bear the name of J.R. Randall & Co's, Skin Disease Ointment & Plaister, with two prices listed although only one size of pot is known.
The pots bearing the name Randall's Celebrated Ointment were sold by the retailers Breeze, Jackson & Green, a partnership borne following the demise of J.R. Randall.
A couple of variations exist, one of which shows a laurel leaf pictorial to one side of the pot.
