Awesome it's in great shape! I did not know witch hazel came in salve form before!
 

Looks about circa 1914 to me. Neat find Creskol!
 

man Id love to find something like that! When you dig em up they are always so rusted.
nice!
 

Things looked a lot cooler back in the old days, that has display quality to it, nowadays nothing really has cool artwork on it like that does.
 

Thanks for looking everybody!
 

That's really cool!
 

Awesome! I love stuff like that!
 

That place just keeps on giving! Really looking forward to seeing it all in cases and on display!
 

THATS MY WIFE!
 

THATS MY WIFE!

I thought it looked like her.... How's Beth doing Bob?

Great find guy.... Is there still a lot of places yet to explore within home? I hope so!!!!
 

What a neat find!
 

someone was probably rubbing that stuff on their 'roids :laughing7: . I would agree that it probably dates to the teens.
 

great item - are you finding lots of well preserved bits-and-bobs(?)
and yes - when dug - most tins are pretty rusty- but there is often a lot of paint beneath the rust - Ive dug some that have cleaned up about that well...
 

History at its best.Congrats.Thats a nice find.HH.
 

Rob, you are getting enough stuff from that house to open an antique store-LOL. WTG, Q.
