Jared, (and others)
Not sure this is helpful or not but we also had a condom tin from our
excavations in early 20th cent. Sandpoint, the report isn't done yet so
can't give you much detail on that other than we've got one. Let me know
off list if you need more specifics or not.
FYI Dave Valentine is an archaeologist who works for Idaho Power.  He's
not on histarch but knows a great deal about condom tins and has
presented a couple of papers on condom tins at some regional conferences
out west. He's a really good guy to get to know on this topic.  His

Subject: Question regarding early twentieth century privies and condom
tins

Hello,
       I'm currently revisiting data from 12 privies we excavated at
Ravensford, a lumber town in western North Carolina occupied during the
1920s. Within a few of these privies we recovered several condom tins in
the night soil deposits. My question is does anyone have any
reports/articles that examine condom tins recovered from privies dating
to the early twentieth century? Any privies excavated at company towns
dating to the early twentieth century would be especially helpful. If
you have a pdf of any report/article feel free to email me off list.
Thanks in advance for the help.
