This lot presents a collection of vintage cardboard soap boxes for the “Sunlight” brand. The packaging features a consistent blue, yellow, and red color scheme with white text, characteristic of period commercial packaging. The boxes are predominantly marked “Savon” (French for “Soap”), with some also including phrases such as “huisoudzeep zuiver en zacht” (Dutch: “household soap pure and soft”), “savon ménage pur et doux” (French: “household soap pure and soft”), and “SUPER.” One distinct box is labeled “NIEUW Sunlight TOILET” (Dutch: “New Sunlight TOILET” soap). The items are likely mid-20th century.
