Item
baby powder, Bebyto
ACS-000069
The empty can was frequently reused as a hair roller. The owner of this container used it to store small pieces of soap (to later use for laundry).
These containers of baby powder were sold with a ration card given to expecting mothers as part of the "canastilla". It is possible that they were also available through the parallel market.
