Hello Ann: Try google books; ads for Ice Mint show it was a foot cream rub. An ad from national Drug Clerk 1918 shows it to have been around for a while. I love gooogle books, setting it on total view eliminates a lot of later 20th century stuff.

Subject: Ice Mint
I have a milk glass jar, about 66mm high and 36mm in diamater, with screw
threads on the lip. On the bottom of the jar is embossed "ICE MINT." A google
search so far hasn't come up with anything about this brand. Does anyone have
any info about it, particularly, when and where it was made?
Thanks!
