Beautifully decorated antique 3 Merry Widows aluminum condom tin ~ what a hoot! The man I obtained this from was in his 70s, and he said he found a whole pile of these empty tins in his grandparents' attic many years ago - eewwww (lol)!
Supposedly it is the names of the three "widows" who were the manufacturers of the condoms that are listed on the cover: Agnes, Mabel & Beckie. This little tin originally held 3 condoms; one forum I read said that "they" were meant to be reused (ick ick ick - I hope they meant the tin!) This likely dates from the 1920s-30s.
1-5/8" in diameter; 5/8" thick. Tin is in very good vintage condition with a little surface wear, very light dings/dents, a tiny bit out of round along top edge of base, light scratches. Quite clean inside. A very interesting little item!
