1930s Mennen Talcum for Men Tin | Green Art Deco Design

This 1930s Mennen Talcum for Men tin is a well-preserved example of Art Deco packaging, featuring a painted cream and green striped lithographed design. Labeled as the Country Club Size, this 9-ounce tin still contains some of its original talcum powder. Mennen’s talc was widely used in the early 20th century, particularly by service members, who often purchased it privately for personal grooming.

The tin highlights the product’s use with electric shavers, reflecting a time when grooming essentials were marketed as part of a refined routine. Its bold graphics and clean lines make it a striking addition to a vintage toiletries collection, barbershop display, or military memorabilia showcase. Whether displayed as a standalone piece or within a larger collection, it captures the era’s amazing design even for everyday items.
