Vintage Williams Jackpot Find

[sfcablecar]

Inspired by forum member Gamma's Vintage Williams 12 packs and a recent eBay listing of the same, I tried to seek out if any other Vintage Wlliams 12 packs could be found. By pure chance and great fortune I came across these while back in New York during the holidays. Needless to say they are quite rare, and being the soap slut that I am, I took the remaining stock that was available. These are the pre-UPC coded pucks circa 1960s. Yippee!

There have been four forum members that have consistently touted Vintage Williams as long as I can remember. They are michiganlover, HoosierTrooper, Topgumby and Seraphim. (If I missed someone else the four of you have to let me know.) And for all that proselytizing I'd like to send out a free Vintage Williams soap puck to each of you four. (Please shoot me a PM.)

I'm definitely not in the modern Williams fan camp but the Vintage Williams is just great stuff.

Nice score. Out of curiosity, in what sort of place did you find this fantasic lot?

 

[michiganlover]

Holly Mackrel!! That has to be the score of a lifetime!! That's enough Williams goodness to last probably 20 years!!

 

[Sledgehammer39]

That is an awesome score you got there. Way to go

Great score, I do believe you're leaving out Seraphim from the major touters of vintage Williams.

Great score, I do believe you're leaving out Seraphim from the major touters of vintage Williams.

Holy crap how could I forget Seraphim. Post is corrected. Got that Seraphim?

Big piles of soap! I love it!

 

[Gamma]

Nice cache of vintage Williams.
I'm not a soapologist or a latherering guru but the lather I get from those soap pucks is pretty impressive.

 

[Seraphim]

Holy crap how could I forget Seraphim. Post is corrected. Got that Seraphim?

I must say that I was turned onto vintage Williams by BobK1, who kindly PIF'd me a puck of the vintage stuff after he had seen me ranting about how poor the new stuff performed (IMHO, YMMV, etc, etc...). I then passed on that puck to Michiganlover, who always seemed as distraut as I in regards to modern Williams....the rest is history!

Super score!!!

I'm jealous, very jealous. Seriously you can't use it all. Put some on BST so I can try some.
