Large, authentic, Fels Naptha Wooden Advertising Shipping Soap Crate, circa 1940. Excellent Used Condition. It makes a terrific primitive or country home decor item.

All sides are shown in photos. All panels are well attached. Occasional slivers in wood and some bumps. If you zoom in on the photos, you will be able to see any minimal defects. Colors of type are bright and very readable.

Measurements are approx. 28" long, 13-1/2" wide, 7-1/2" deep.

On the outer back picture (#6), you may be able to see the handwriting in grease pencil that's on the box. It says "K Bros. Portage Wis."

K Bros stands for Kimball Bros. General Store (formerly) in Briggsville, Wisconsin. Portage Wis. would have ben the nearest train station where the box was delivered for pick up.

I know this to be true because I personally received the box out of the store when I was cleaning it out the store for a new owner. Now the property sits empty, and history is being lost as it is in so many small towns.

Kimball's General Store was where people from all over the area "traded" for generations before the big stores came in. It was also served as the local post office and up stairs was the community's mortuary.

Soap crates have a special place in history too, as in politics (get off your soap box) and soap box derbys.

Please allow extra shipping time for professional packing.

Ships UPS Ground with insurance. To ship this package, I will need your street address (no P.O. boxes) and to know whether I'm shipping to a residence or a business. UPS will also require your phone number because of the value of the crate.

Sold as is.
