4oz Ointment Jar

US Army 4oz Ointment Jar

This is a 4 oz ointment jar from the US Army medical supply system, a plain white container with a fitted lid built to hold salves, creams and ointments. It is a small, practical way to carry a working amount of something you would otherwise have to haul around in a full-size tub. Medics, preppers building aid kits, and shooters who want a tidy pot of gun grease or lube on the bench will all find a use for it.

Features

• 4 oz Capacity — Holds four ounces, enough for a useful supply of ointment, salve or grease without taking up much room.
• National Stock Number Item — Catalogued under NSN 6530-00-430-5410, the 13-digit code the US military uses to identify and order every item in its supply system.
• Medical Supply Class — The first four digits, 6530, place it in the federal supply class for hospital and medical supplies.
• White Plastic Body — The plain, unprinted white body makes it easy to label with a marker or tape for whatever you put inside.
• Fitted Flat Lid — A matching white cap closes over the rim and has a flat top that stacks neatly in a drawer or box.
• Wide Round Mouth — The opening runs nearly the full width of the jar, so you can reach the contents with a finger, swab or spatula.
• Compact Upright Shape — The straight-sided cylinder stands on its flat base and slots into an aid bag, range box or cleaning kit.
• US Army Issue — Genuine government-issue stock from the Army supply chain.

Issued Medical Supply

The jar was procured through the US Army medical supply system as a basic dispensing container, so it is built to a simple, functional standard with no retail branding. That plain design makes it as useful on a workbench as in a first aid kit. Collectors and reenactors putting together period medical gear get a container with genuine supply-system provenance rather than a generic store-bought pot.
