    The soap dish seems to be an insert as it has drainage holes. Anyway it is an unusual color as I have never seen this green and white swirl pattern in a soap dish before. It is probably about 100 years old or close to it.
    The bar of wool soap was made by Swift and Company and was made around 1900. I do not think it has been reproduced.

      Wool soap is made with lanolin I'm assuming? I have not heard it called that before!

      I'll have to look that up racer4four. Apparently it is made with actual wool.

      It will serve them right Weirdpuckett for using a 115 year old bar of soap. Perhaps I should display it someplace safe.
