Was this a tallow based soap? What is the shelf life of these soaps?

Crazy. It's a shame I'm not a profiteering schumck. Perhaps I could get one, rhodium it, and charge 3x what it's really worth.
I think the shelf life is decades, but the scent is usually gone after a few years.
Man. I have one NIB with the mug.
For $80 I may just be convinced to part with it however.

I have some vintage williams. Its from the 60s, so its the old formula. Any scent it once had is now gone, but its still a good soap and lathers amazingly. All you would get out of an old puck of OS is performance, not really scent. If you want a good shave and the scent of old spice, I was recently turned on to Van Der Spice. melting a puck a VDH in the microwave and then splashing old spice AS into the mix. Works well and looks great in my old spice mug that I got for $10 off the bay.
Total spent was about $15 including the mug, Classic scent AS, and 2 pucks of VDH. That sure beats an $80 puck that's 30 years old and lost most, if not all of it's scent.

Trying this tonight, assuming I can snag VDH from Wal-Mart.
I have some Old Spice soap from the early 1970's, and it's still good. Not much left though. 
Yessir, usually about $1.50-$2 a puck. And the classic aftershave is the old scent brought back after its reformulation supposedly. Add more than you think you need to the soap. It will smell stronger when you add it to the warm liquid soap, but tones down when it hardens. I put about a quarter of the small bottle in, I used two pucks of VDH. I got the AS on sale for like $3. If you didn't add enough the first time, it's safe to melt it again and add more. I microwaved it for 10 seconds, stir, and then another 10 etc until melted.
