Description

Our British Empire India Lifebuoy Soap is a modern bar wrapped in a repro reproduction and is based on an original wrapper in our collection. Perfect for use in a CBI or British Colonial display.

These have shown up as WWI Lifebuoy wrappers, but are really from the 1930s and 1940s. The India Lifebuoy factory was opened in 1933. Today, the India factory is the only Lifebuoy factory still in existence, and Lifebuoy continues to be a popular soap there.

Unlike the  American and French Canadian bars, the bar was wrapped in a wax paper rather than boxed.
