I am looking for information and possibly a value for this item, I picked this up at a thrift store. Research indicates that this company, Merlin Products Corporation NY , manufactured a cleaning detergent in the late 1920’s. Online sellers have sold a powdered, boxed version of this product made in 1929. I cannot, however, find any information about a tin- except that the tin may have contained a polishing cloth. Could this be a reproduction? The tin is old and has some corrosion. Pictures attached. I have also added pictures of the boxed detergent for reference. [color=#000000][/color]
