Some 30 year old Turtle Wax bottles I recently uncovered

[ethereal45]

I was working on my grandmas car and found these in her garage:





The flat bottle is from 1989, the other one is from 1931. These are both much older than I am!

Did you say 1931? with bar code? Don't think so.

LOL...yea, barcodes didn't arrive til the late 70s.....I recall cashiers at the supermarkets punching in prices back in the day

That was a typo, I meant 1981, my bad.

Here's a unique old bottle of Turtle Wax that I have in my antique car wax collection. I actually have a full page newspaper add, (both sides of a opened newspaper), for this bottle of Turtle Wax from 1950. It's interesting in that the ink for the ad is both black and green. Something I would guess is kind of rare in a newspaper from 1950.

By the way, the bottle touts that the wax contains Brillium

Is that like unobtanium?

So tough to find a car wax with Brillium these days. What a shame....

Great minds think alike, that was my exact comment when Mike posted that on AG a while back.

I heard a vicious rumor that Mr. Phillips is in possession of the last bottle of Brillium left on the planet! Rare indeed, it's not even on the Periodic Table anymore! I suspect it'll end up at Sotheby's or Christie's fetching a sum that will make Mike independently wealthy. Either that or he'll peddle it on eBay for a buck and a half and buy a Mountain Dew or something...
