    Hoppes Counter Display circa 1941

    Camera flash doesn't help pics. Boxes are pretty much mint. There was a beautiful Hoppes cardboard ad that fit into slots on the lid of the display. Still can't find it after we moved.

    Anyone remember the wording on the OLD Hoppe's #9 glass bottles? "For cleaning rifles, pistols and submachine guns...." Things must have been a little more liberal back then.................
