In the 19th and early 20th centuries, rice starch was widely used to stiffen clothing, collars, and fine lace. Produced by the Rémy starch company, featuring their signature lion trademark ("Marque de Fabrique"). This specific box details the Gaillon factories located in the Eure department of Normandy, France. The box measures 2.5" x 3.75" x 1.75.
