This certainly isn't mind blowing, but it's one of my favorite finds. Found this container at a late 1800s house in Bryan, TX. Found out it's a can of Marinello Motor Cream. Like a sun screen back in the early 1900s. Popped it open and it still has cream in it!

What ever you do, don't touch that stuff!! It's probably lead based! ;)


Just imagine how happy you'll be when you find your first 3 Merry Widows tin.:shock:

Cool find, congrats.

Good lord!! Open those with caution too! ;)

I'm afraid to open the single one I dug a couple years ago. :lol:

:lol: I would guess that nobody bothered re-packaging the merry widow contents so I wouldn't worry too much about that. :laughing: I think I found the bottom half of a merry widow can but can't prove it since the top escaped me.
