FLASH Hand Cleaner 1940s 3 Lb. Lidded Can

Regular price $29.00

I usually more or less breeze by the can collectors at the flea market or antiques mall, but occasionally the graphics on something will just jump out and call to me--and really, pretty hard to miss this one! Dating to the late 30s/1940s, I really don't know how the design could be any better. This seems to be the largest of the cans the Cambridge, MA-based Flash Chemical Company made, holding 3 lbs. net weight of the cleaner, the wonders of which are well described on the back side of the can. (I think this could make a pretty great host or housewarming gift, perhaps filled with soaps, or scrub brushes!)

5 1/8" t x 4 1/4" in diameter. The lid comes off and closes tight, and the interior is pretty clean, with just light rusting. Dings, dents, stains and a few scratches (I have not touched it) but overall good condition and still just great looking.
