I smell like a Christmas pudding
Here for your interest is a rare Yardley shaving stick I have just obtained, I would appreciate any knowledge or opinion of this you may have.
The stick is in a box labelled 'The Stick In The Glass Case' and when opened it contains a tube which indeed appears to be glass with a silver coloured screw lid. The soap inside has an antiseptic smell and the remains of silver foil. It appears unused. There are some leaflets inside containing advertising and instructions as shown. The style of the packaging and leaflet wording suggest pre WWI to me but I could be very wrong. I think it is safe to say that I will never use this soap unless I am very much mistaken about its rarity.
Does anyone know any more about this? Thank you, Richard
