Description

A cylindrical pot whose top screws down onto a shallow base. Possibly made to contain shaving soap, this pot has sixteen vertical divisions to the side of the cylinder and the Rolls logo moulded on the top. The base has a quadrant design with a small hole through the centre. Compression moulded in dark red phenol formaldehyde this pot is thought to date from the late 1940s.
