Bab-O Cleanser Dispenser, circa 1954
01
Artifact Overview
This item would have been placed over a canister of Bab-O Cleanser, when the cleanser was set out on a shelf, sink, or bathtub. During the 1950s, this was considered an elegant way of covering up the unsightly, industrial look of the cleanser packaging. The pink color would have matched the color scheme of many bathrooms of the era.
