Mini Story or Hook:

A glimpse into mid-20th-century office life, this vintage KJ ink remover bottle is a relic from a time when corrections were chemical, not digital. With bold amber glass and striking yellow labels, it’s both a functional curiosity and a classic addition to any chemist, apothecary, or advertising collection. Produced in Victoria, Australia, it even carries its original warning labels and screw cap.
