Smoking in the Bathroom


Oh, the things you find when the walls are torn open! This little gem was hiding inside the bathroom wall. I'm guessing it fell out of a workman's pocket around the time the interior of my home was finished in the late 50's. Absent is a barcode, something that became common in the mid-70's. Also no health hazard warning, these became compulsory in 1969. My mother smoked Pall Malls when I was a child, and I remember their very distinctive aroma when she lit one up. Demolition is complete for this round of home improvements. The walls in the bathroom are nearly put back together and the backsplash area in the kitchen is currently being adorned with tile. Sadly, the archaeological phase of renovations has come to an end.
