Did you see our “What’s it Wednesday” post on Facebook? We
asked what this artifact could be.
As a reminder the artifact is a metal object with a basket at the end opens and closes with joints on its far end an is kept closed with a small metal ring that slides over the small tab on one side of the basket. The handle is made so that a hand fits comfortably around it.
This object is actually a soap saver. It is used to hold pieces of soap when they get to small to use in your hand. All the little soap pieces collect inside the basket to save for laundry day. When clothes needed to be washed in a wringer washer or by hand, you could swirl the soap saver in the water, using up every last bit of the soap.
