This listing is for this rare Cherry Tooth Paste of the Army and Navy Co-Operative Society Ltd., London.

The Army & Navy Co-operative Society was established in 1871 by a group of British army and navy officers. Its goal was to supply goods at reasonable prices to military personnel and their families. The co-op grew into a vast department store enterprise in London and sold a wide array of household and personal care goods—including toiletries like toothpaste.

These ceramic toothpaste pots were used in the late 19th to early 20th century, before the adoption of collapsible metal tubes. Cherry-flavored toothpaste was a popular choice at the time, both for children and adults.

Measures approximately 2 3/4” wide across the lid, and 1 3/8” tall.

The lid is in very good, clean condition with an excellent clear dark transfer, and no chips or cracks. The base is also in very clean, good condition with no cracks and two chips on the bottom and one on the inside rim. None of the chips are visible when displayed with the lid on. Please view all images for your best description of this pot.

This is an authentic antique advertising pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from friends who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.

Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and doing serious antiquing.

On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.

Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.

Returns are not excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
