I posted about this a while back and thought I would get some numbers. I always referred to them as 'soap bar' holders since to me they look like the old hotel soap while it seems that the majority of eBay auctions refer to them as 'soap box' holders. Which I am guessing is a nod the the small boxes the small hotel soap would come in. I do have a couple I am selling on eBay and want to make sure I get the description right, currently 'soap bar'. Anyway details like this sometimes keep me up at night so getting folks opinions on it! Thanks!

I use soap box, soap bar just seems off to me.

I always was of the opinion that Soap Box was used as the motel/hotel bars of soap came in small boxes with a window to view the soap bar.
I truly liked the small white holder the best.

I’ve used the term “cache” in the past for these, parroting others.
I just call them "small white anacs" or s.w.a. on my inventory sheet.
I've always enjoyed the original small holders. They feel more wholesome and organic for the purpose of authentication.

You can't clean yourself with it. It contains something. Soap BOX!

Soap bar sounds the nicest.

A soap box is something you get on when you rant.
To my knowledge, these have always been called caches.
Agree. When they first came out, ANACS called their new slab the "ANACS Cache" in their advertisements.

When listing on ebay I would always use "old small holder"
When you use old small holder your listing will also pop up when people search old green holder or old holder.

I lean towards Old Small Holder but the other two options are acceptable as well. If you have enough space in the eBay title, use more than one of the terms to maximize the number of people that might find the listing.
