These are reproduction 19th Century (1800s) items and Containers. They are real functional products, although modern products may be more appropriate, in most cases.
Tooth Powder in Tin Container: This is real tooth powder and could be used as an everyday tooth powder, if you like tooth powder instead of toothpaste. It is like what was used in the 1800s and so it does not contain all the "improvements" found in modern toothpaste.
Grandma's Lye Soap: This is a serious soap in a hand soap size (6.4 ounces). We use it in the kitchen for washing our hands. I also use it any time I am working in the woods and could have been exposed to poison oak. It is recommended for Dry Skin and may ease the compfort of Psoriasis, Eczema, Acne, Winter dry, itchy skin, Poison Ivy-Oak, Any Rash/Hives, Insect Bites. It contains now perfume so it doesn't sttract insects like modern soaps do. It also hides human scent for hunters. It is also listed as "Best for dirty-mouthed kids", but this is a historical reference and not intended as a modern use.
Civil War Petrolatum Tin: Tin Only, add your own gel to complete the impression. |
