The black ink is original and still largely saturated and opaque. The wood surfaces haven’t been lacquered or varnished and have a matte, dry finish. There’s only the slightest bit of wood loss along the top right corner of one of the long wooden sidewalls. This amounts to what would be best described as a sliver of wood and not a chunk. The wood has naturally aged patina and its wood cover was pried off with a crow bar. The damage to the long sidewall most likely occurred when the wood box crate was initially opened. One long sidewall has great graphics with a hand holding a bar of Lenox soap. The short sidewall has the Proctor and Gamble crescent moon hallmark stamped on it. Good to Very Good overall vintage condition. The item “RARE LENOX SOAP EARLY 20TH C ANTIQUE WOOD BOX ADVERTISING CRATE PROCTOR & GAMBLE” is in sale since Monday, April 12, 2021.
