Listerine Frog Razor Blade Bank from 1936

We call this little guy "Fred". He is Listerine's answer to the question of what to do with used safety razor blades. It was a promotional item for Listerine Shaving Cream in 1936. There's a slot in his mouth where you place the blades, and he safely stores them.  Art deco design of a stylized frog looks really cool on the counter. It will hold Gillette, Schick and GEM style blades, and probably other types. 

He's 3 inches tall. He is showing his age a bit, but is still solid and functional. There is a chip in his mouth, probably from where someone removed whatever used blades may have been in it. There are a couple of spots on his head and back that I think are defects where they didn't get the glaze on fully when he was fired. There are some stress cracks and a chip in his back. You can see all of this in the photos, and also see that he still is a piece of functional art. 

Nice display piece, or use it to store your used blades.
