Bedrock Bob 4,049 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I made a quick trip to the shooting spot yesterday to test out some .44 loads. I found these items of interest. On the left I believe we have an extract or a food coloring bottle. On the right Bayer asprin. Probably a 50's vintage. Do you recognize this? It has been a long time since I have seen one of these. Here is a shot of the inside. Sill some visible writing on it... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is in the patina of the rust. I held it at an angle so the light would hit it just right. You can see a few words on the inside if you zoom in tight. Words like "jelly" and "rubber" and "lubricant". I thought it was an asprin tin. When I cleaned it up I saw faint lettering. I put a drop of Penatrol on it and it brought back just enough writing to positively identify it. It is a Trojan condom tin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

New Mexicans never used contraception. As far as I know only Episcopalians did that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 3,169 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Ok I have removed a couple of posts that are getting a bit vulgar and are not the type of content we would like to have on the forum. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bedrock Bob 4,049 Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 I didn't get a chance to see them. Shucks. Anyhoo, thanks Skip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sonoran Dave 2,146 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Dagnabbitt I missed them too. I'm always a day late and a dollar short. I wonder how thick they were in comparison to today's units. Was it like wearing a chunk of fire hose? Or were they as thin as they are today? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much just like that with heavy cleated soles for traction. With some finger loops on the side to pull them on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
