For Old Guys

Also found at this 1920's house was the top of a old style foil packet which read 3 M price $1.00 W, for the prevention of disease only, prefectos. Is this what I think it is? Fortunately nothing else was in it except dirt.

Perhaps something like this:

​

"...This company started producing rubber condoms in the 1890s and although the embossing changed throughout the years. Some versions say "For Medicinal Purposes Only" while others feature the price of $1.00 and proclaim them to be "Selected - Tested." The relatively high prices for the day can be attributed to their lack of social acceptance as well as the cost involved with hand-dipping the product…" Underneath Arkansas - Metal Detecting Finds 3 Merry Widows

Thank you. The one I found is probably a little later issue as it had for prevention of disease on it and the arrangement of the wording was different, but it was probably the same company. Thanks again.
