Suds and other toxins

[bygted]

I found a bunch of these 1940's stainless steel medical cabinets on a loading dock waiting for the trash. The guys at the building that they came from said that they were being replaced with composite board / laminate covered stuff - ( the kind that get saggy shelves after an hour of use)
Oh well - worked out good for me ! I only kept one and sold the rest - now I regret it as my collection of deadly household liquids is ever growing - and they make the perfect showcase.

one more shot of the cabinet

I am particularly fond of the jug of "Blue Label DETHOL"
(middle right side) a wonderful all purpose killing product with a happy name !

Toxic waste dump, LOL.

Larvex?

I have some chloridane you could add to your collection, lol.

A man after my own heart....

I love your collection! All I have is a metal can full of Klear and something called Soilax, that came with the house.

Great collection and awesome cabinet!

I'll bet you did well on the others, it's rare to see those for sale let alone waiting for the trash - a lucky day for sure!

Soilax:

Soilax was for washing walls, mainly. I remember it from when I was a kid; people used to do a lot more wall-washing than they do now (fewer smokers, cheaper paint today). From what I can remember of its smell, I would imagine that TSP was a prime ingredient.

I have an empty Janitor in a Drum

What was or in that crazy smiling clown face thing?

That's a great cabinet! The only thing you're missing is carbon tetrachloride.

TSP, like STPP, is odorless.

But that is a BEAUTIFUL cabinet. Perfect for such displays. I do wonder why you're putting the old coffee cans in with the cleaners and vermicides, though... ;-)

crazy clown face

That creepy clown guy is actually a box of chalk and the chalk are his teeth.
If I had a box like that when I was a kid it would have frightened the hell outta me !

I guess having the coffe cans in with the cleaning stuff is kinda strange - Looks like I will have to find another cabinet so I can divide the themes a little better.

NICE SCORE!!!! that is a beautiful cabinet! Love your display there! I'd love to find something like that too. You should have trucked away the whole load and sold them on Craig's list or something. I imagine a new cabinet like that at a trendy designer furniture or cabinet shop would cost you over 2 grand!
