Tea, Wine & Soap

    Interesting, I've never heard of Restu or Kurlo or even Bodyguard soap! It's also a bit unusual in that strong smelling soap could affect the tea which was most likely sold loose in those days. I had a look at HHA124L stream and while Rinso, Fairy and Hudson's were familiar Restu was not. Do you think HHA has a thing for buses?

    Love these shots! This is priceless.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie I do! And it may come in very handy with identifying motorised conveyances on here.
  • Brian Mulligan said:
    It may be that it was called Restu Bodyguard Soap, this image has notes underneath which suggest same www.leodis.org/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=20031211_1...

    Interesting to note that both of the Wynne images you've uploaded have a magenta cast. Is there a specific reason for this? I have a fading print of this photograph in the family album, which I thought of uploading to my stream, but you beat me to it. :-)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Oh sorry, Mike! I was just so eager to get it up there. Really don't know about the magenta cast - many of our Wynne photos have it, and I love it personally...
  • Mike Hannon said:
    No need to apologise at all. It's one of those photos I was sure you'd have, and in far superior quality to the print I have. The remainder of the photographs I have are of the immediate Wynne family members, and then my Great-grandfathers offspring, so I hope to see many more of T.J's photos here.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Well, if you're uploading any of the family members to your own stream, let's know - would love to see what they looked like...
  • Mike Hannon said:
    Haha! I don't think I'll go that far yet, as I only have the free account on here, and I'm limited to 200 photos. I did come across two postcards from the era that I've scanned and posted, and though the photographs aren't credited to Thomas, they may be of interest.......

    I don't know what Restu is - a cleaning product of some kind, perhaps? - but that apart, this little shop seems pretty keen on soap!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Peter Denton Peter, you were too quick off the mark! You commented before I'd finished the description - see above for more information on these 1920s soap products...
