Ford Charcoal Briquets in Package with a Workshop Image, 1935
Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company's charcoal briquettes were good for more than just backyard cookouts. This packaging promoted their use in home and commercial workshops. Because the briquettes smoldered without open flames, they were safer to use around the flammable materials often found in workshops. The briquettes could be used to melt solder, or to soften metals like lead, copper and brass.
