Authenticity Guarantee
Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Vintage Colgate Talc for Men Tin | Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Co. Jersey City | Blue & Cream Advertising Tin | 1940s | 3.6" | Display Only
$20.00
Metal advertising tin straight from a mid-century medicine cabinet. This Colgate Talc for Men tin has a blue top band with bold cream COLGATE lettering, a cream body printed TALC FOR MEN, and its original knurled metal shaker cap. The back still reads "Colgate's Talc eliminates that objectionable 'powdered' look," with directions to use after shaving or after a shower, tub or swim.
The front is marked Net Weight 1-1/2 oz., Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Co., Jersey City, N.J. The company used the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet name from about 1928 to 1953, which helps date this tin.
- Material: Lithographed metal tin with a metal shaker cap
- Maker: Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Co., Jersey City, N.J.
- Era: About the 1940s (Colgate-Palmolive-Peet era, 1928 to 1953)
- Size: about 3.6" tall
- Colors: Blue and cream
- Contents: Still holds what appears to be original talc. Sold as a collectible display piece only, not for use.
- Condition: Fair to good vintage condition. Dark stains and grime on the front and back, rubs and scratches, some rust spots and wear along the bottom edge, and a worn spot on the bottom of the back label. Please see all photos.
A great find for a barbershop or shaving collection, a vintage bathroom shelf or anyone who remembers Dad's after-shave routine. Styling props shown in photos are not included.
One of a kind, only one available. When it's gone, it's gone.
