Good Egg: Scarce and Excellent 1906 Bassett's Egg Shampoo Advertising Tin, Rochester NY folk art canoe Albumen paper print: 9 7/8"I came across one of these Bassett Egg Shampoo tins for the first time at an antique shop in Pennsylvania and was very taken with it but then I saw the price! Happily, a couple of days later I came across another at more of a hole in the wall shop, not so preciously marked. A wonderful example of package design, produced by Bassett Supply Co., Rochester NY, c. 1906. With directions for use of the egg shampoo on the flip side of the tin. Charming. 2 3
