Was cleaning up the finds from the other day out and what I thought was a plain metal jar lid gave my a humorous surprise. Lid from Merry Widows condoms!
3 for $1.00 Good times. Happy Hunting. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1596790802.440774.jpg

I’ve been finding a lot of those antique condom tins, different companies too, like “the Sheik”, liquid latex and Merry Widows, I think I have one other, just can’t remember the name

I found my first Merry Widow tin early in my detecting career and didn’t know what it was until I Googled it.. ca: 1945. Dug it at our local fairgrounds.. those crazy carnies lol.. Nice Indian too! Ddf.
