Buffalo nickel soap and soap dish. I've never seen this before.

Thats awesome!
It made me think about Larry Greenstone (SeaEagleCoins). He always had fun Buffalo related items in his showcase when he set up.
Miss you Larry!

I wonder how long it has to sit in the open air for it to tone

The soap that is.

valente151 · February 10, 2013 11:45AM

I like that!

Shamika · February 10, 2013 11:45AM

I'm surprised it has survived 40 years.

Is it a Type1 or Type2.

It looks better than some of the Chinese fakes.

I saw one of those Avon bottles shaped like an 1877 Indian cent on eBay recently.

Guess the '70s were sort of golden age, when numismatics were popular enough as a theme that stuff like this got made.

I only have vague memories of that, having started in 1976, when I was ten and a half years old.

One saucy-tongued wag of the era remarked that it was someone's attempt
to get coin collectors to bathe on a regular basis.

That coin looks cleaned!

I would expect to find that at a yard sale - and yes, I would have purchased it...

Cheers, RickO

Looks like a Type 1 if the dish actually reflects what's on the box.

Strike that. The plate looks nothing like the box.

there are beter images of the dish and soap, and yes, you will be numismatically disappointed.

Ok, who here bid on it? Fess up.

DrBuster · February 11, 2013 10:36AM

Everyone yappin and nobody bidding!

valente151 · February 11, 2013 12:02PM

I have the bid on it right now. I like to find these fun things and donate them to the Summer Seminar YN auction as they usually go for high money for a good cause.

Justlooking · February 11, 2013 12:06PM

Somebody's going to take a bath on that one.

Shamika · February 12, 2013 9:21PM

Just watch, somebody will snipe it.

Dentuck · February 12, 2013 11:58PM

I'm sure it looks fresh and clean in hand.

Casman · February 13, 2013 12:03AM

Well, it looks like there may be enough available to clean things up around here.

Thats right and still full of cologne

topstuf · February 13, 2013 1:44AM

Try this.

MEDALLION money clips

Not coins. But purty dang close.

JohnnyCache · February 13, 2013 2:20AM

Looks like shaving soap not bathing soap. The kind of soap and dish you would use with a shaving brush. Wet brush, swirl over top of soap, lather face and shave.

johnny9434 · February 13, 2013 2:54AM

nice pick up if someone wants it bad enough ( and they arent afraid of soap )
