Round gutta-percha container made of an upper and lower half that screw together. The bottom section is plain and is meant for holding a cake of soap. The top half has a very nice sunburst decoration with a central design of a fouled anchor surmounted by the letters “U.S.N.” and thirteen five-pointed stars. Around this decoration is maker’s information that reads “NOVELTY RUBBER CO. NEW YORK-GOODYEARS PATENT 1849-1851.” The underside of the lid was meant to house a mirror but this is now gone. Overall the item is in wonderful clean condition with no nicks, chips or cracks.
