Others have found these but this is my first soap token of any kind.
Aluminum, 7" deep and found at the iron mine I have been hunting.
For a treat I switched to the Vaq and my 5" concentric sniper and it picked this thing up like it had a beacon attached to it.
I can't believe the shape it is in considering it was made between 1926-1928 and deposited in the ground at pretty much the same time.
Thank you great Kansas soil.
I am thrilled, this will look just perfect on display.
Some history...
"Peet Brothers was founded in 1872. Their products included Crystal White Laundry Soap, Crystal White Soap Flakes, Creme Oil Toilet Soap, Imperial Peroxide Toilet Soap, Sea Foam Naphtha Washing Powder, Borax Washing Compound and many others. The company's main plant was located in Kansas City.
In 1864, Caleb Johnson had founded a soap company called B.J. Johnson Soap Co., in Milwaukee. In 1898, this company introduced a soap made of palm and olive oils, called Palmolive. It was so successful that the B.J. Johnson Soap Co. changed its name to Palmolive in 1917. In 1927, Palmolive merged with Peet Brothers to became Palmolive Peet.
In 1928, Palmolive Peet joined the Colgate Company to create the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Company."
In 1953 the company got tired of Peet and evidently put out a hit just like Sears did to Roebuck, then the company's name was simplified to Colgate-Palmolive.
