Perfecto Silks - They're Guaranteed

A small tin of Perfecto Silks. Empty.
Found it yesterday, 6 inches deep in an area of an old park where we have been finding some old coins.
I'm trying to date it. Can't find much of any info on-line.
Tin size: 1-5/8" diameter X 5/8" tall.
Any ideas on how old?

Pantyhose? if so they would be WWII or newer as nylon had become popular after the war. Most likely from the late 40's early 50's is my guess.

My guess is these "silks" were used only after the pantyhose were removed.

Seriously, the tin is much too small for even one pair of pantyhose.

I'm 99% sure what the item is; just looking for an approximate age.

Late 1920s to the 50s.

Thanks, BB.

The 20's to 50's time frame correlates with the age of the other items/coins found in the same area of the park.

Thanks again for the info, SS

Guaranteed for what?

If broken do you get a free replacement...just send in the old used one

Like, hey mom, do you have a spare postage stamp, the rubber Sally and I used is NFG and I need to send it to the manufacturer...

Or do they pay for your creative experience?

There's nothing quite like Guaranteed Rubber.
