We recovered a few of these from late nineteenth-early twentieth century privies in Southern Indiana. I believe the most prominent brand was "Merry Widow". Email me off list for more information.

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.
