This offering is a rare, complete vintage merchant's crate for "Monkey Brand" window cleaning soap. Manufactured by Lever Brothers, with specific markings for Maydon Wharf, Durban, this historical piece dates back to the early 20th century. The wooden crate, with its distinctive sliding lid, contains a number of the original individual product cakes, which appear to remain in their original sealed packaging. The exterior wood shows a weathered patina consistent with its age and use, featuring clear red and black stenciled branding on the sides and top.
Condition Status: The wooden crate is structurally sound with appropriate wear, abrasions, and staining for a vintage item of this nature. The stenciling remains clearly visible. While the interior contents have not been individually inspected, the cakes inside appear to be fully intact and sealed within their original wrappers, a significant detail for collectors.
Dimensions: 38.5cm (l) 22.5cm (w) x 16cm (h).
