Vintage Gold Dust Scouring Cleanser Original Package with Product

Description

Here is a wonderful vintage Kitchen Item from 80 + years ago . This red cardboard , cylinder contained Gold Dust Cleaning Powder. Similar to our now Ajax. It was made by Lever Bros. in Cambridge Mass. This container is from the 1940's. It is all cardboard, it still has the original cardboard top with eight punched holes and the cardboard bottom.  The container is full and I have not endeavor to take either the top or bottom off as I do not want to damage the paper label or cardboard package.  You can feel that it is full.  I do not believe it was ever used.
The container is in really good condition. There is a full red paper label that goes around the circumference of the container.  The graphics are black and brown. Everything is very easy to read and the only damage is the ruffling of the label edge where it meets in the back.   The cardboard is heavy and is not pushed in. The container stands well.
This is a vintage canister of Gold Dust Scouring Cleanser manufactured by Lever Brothers Company Cambridge Mass.  Net Weight 14 ounces.
