VINTAGE PLASTIC
ART DECO STYLE MILITARY SOAP DISH I PUT ANOTHER PICTURE IN THATS BRIGHTER THAN THE OTHERS SO YOU CAN SEE BETTER THE RED COLOR IS LIGHTER THE TRUE RED COLOR ARE THE DARK RUBY RED PICTURES THE PAPER-WORK DOES NOT COME WITH LISTING ITS JUST FOR SHOW ITS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE HERE'S SOME MORE INFO THAT WAS SENT TO ME BY A NICE PERSON Hey Sunken.....this is an interesting item. The type of soap dish I'm used to seeing is the aluminum one that is either bright metal or spray painted O.D. Green. However, with the heavy demand on metal as the war progressed, substitute materials such as plastic, bake-Lite, and lucite resin were all in use. This is a nice example of what I believe, may be of the Lucite-resin variety. I honestly have not seen one in my 40 years of collecting....so this is only a guess. A nice item at any rate. I'm putting this on watch while I do a little more research These were not 100% military
issue. When I was a kid back in the 50s-60s we had several with different
designs where the compass rose is. I particularly remember a white plastic and
a blue/turquoise colored one. They lasted well into the 80s, which is why I
remember them so well. May have been purchased from a public supplier for
military use. I ADDED A FEW MORE PICTURES TO SHOW SCRATCHES, MARS, RUBS, ETC THESE SOAP DISHES WERE COVERED IN DUST YEARS WORTH OF DUST THE SOAP DISHES WERE STACKED ON EACH OTHER THEY ARE CONCAVE ON TOP MOST OF THE RUBS ARE IN THAT AREA OR ON BOTTOM OF DISH I TOOK SOME MORE PICTURES TO SHOW YOU ALL I'M GOING TO DO IS WASH EACH SOAP-DISH IN WARM SOAPY WATER TO TAKE ALL DIRT AND DUST OFF I WILL RUB THEM DOWN WITH ORANGE OR LEMON OIL TO HELP PROTECT THE PLASTIC I'M NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF PLASTIC THE SOAP DISHES ARE? I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TAKE LIGHT SCRATCHES OUT OR IF IT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT DAMAGING THE PLASTIC? I WILL LET NEW OWNER DECIDE HOW THEY WANT TO DEAL WITH SCRATCHES OR JUST LET THEM BE? I WILL SELL THE BETTER ONES FIRST THAT LOOK THE NICEST ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS HOW TO MAYBE RUB SOME OF SCRATCHES OUT LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TRY? LOOK AT ALL PICTURES THANKS
