I can hardly contain myself. It's a Chadwick Toothpaste squeezer, mint in box! Totally unused. Can you believe it? The box is excellent as well and dated 1976. Note the all-plastic construction and the "gilded" plastic base. I couldn't find one of these that sold on eBay recently so maybe it's rare! Wish me luck!

I love the picture on the box. Note how the toothpaste seems to defy gravity by coming out of the dispenser, then hangs a right to land neatly on your toothbrush. Wow!

You know, I should get that for my husband. He's always squeezing the tube from the middle and it drives me crazy!!

Gee, I wonder why the original owner kept it in the box unused, rather than proudly displaying it in his bathroom.

Well thank you nowwhat.
My wife headed for the table with the dusty old stuff and bought one of those vintage plastic box-shaped purses and an old fishing reel. Not me though. I spied this little baby next to the pots and pans. How lucky it was still there so late in the morning.

loosecannon, love the tp thingy.
The plastic purse that you skoff at might be worth around $100. It depends.
You are being sarcastic, right?

loosecannon I love your ad copy - especially: "The box is dated 1976, so it's almost vintage. I would say it's Shabby Chic, but I'm not sure what that means."
I've got to bookmark this one - ought to be fun to watch - and, Good Luck!
