Vintage Soap Saver

A soap saver was used to preserve and use up every last bit of bar soap.  When the bar soap got too small to use on a washboard, the small bits were placed inside of the soap saver and swished through the water to create suds.  They were particularly used in the dishwater.  They have a "hinged" lid and a small metal ring to secure the basket once closed.  These have a very vintage appearance and look like they have seen many wash days.  These make an excellent addition to your primitive home decor.  Hang them off a hook in your bath or laundry room or on an old washboard for display.  Just another way to add vintage charm to your laundry or bath.
