Even if you don't remember the ones I am sharing here, please share any memories you have on vintage talc. I would enjoy hearing your memories. Just click on the "comments" button at the end of my post.
I do remember Johnson's baby powder, Yardley talc and Avon's products. However, I don't remember Johnson's baby powder like this!
I also found this vintage Colgate's talc powder and it makes me wonder if it is the same Colgate as the toothpaste.
Here is a talc from Nivea. I have seen their products such as creams, lotions and lip balm, but I had never seen a talc until I found this vintage one.
Last for this post is the Palmolive after shaving talc...another thing I didn't know about until I saw this photo.
It is quite possible that these products were not sold here in Canada; however, if they were, I really don't remember them.
Thanks so much for visiting me here and I look forward to hearing your memories!
I just had so much fun reading back through many of your posts! I was born in 1952 so you're speaking my language! haha Thanks for the lovely walk down memory lane!... Donna
ReplyDeleteHi Donna,
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by and for your comment! :)
I was born in'55. My mother kept a metal can (tin) of Johnson's baby powder, but the design was different. I suspect that the pictured powder was pre-50's. Do you remember tooth powder that came in a tin? Colgate & other companies made it to use for brushing teeth. You would pour about a half teaspoon of the powder into the palm of your hand, dampen the tooth brush, then rub the tooth brush through the powder & brush your teeth, dipping repeatedly until the toothpowder was all used.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
DeleteMy goodness...yes! I do remember that tooth powder! As far as the photo I shared here of the Johnson's baby powder, it could very well be pre-50's. Thanks for sharing your memories!
Talc is a big no-no in baby care these days. It used to smell so good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog! Love Montreal. I still have some family there.
