2 NOTEBOOKS OF ORIGINAL FORMULAS THANATOID MORTUARY PRODUCTS 1930'S

Description

FROM THE THANATOID CHEMICAL COMPANY WHICH WAS IN BUSINESS IN THE THIRTIES IN ELMIRA NEW YORK, 2 NOTEBOOKS FULL OF ORIGINAL HAND- AND TYPEWRITTEN FORMULAS FOR THE THANATOID MORTUARY PRODUCTS.  MANY OF THE FORMULAS ALSO NAME THE SOURCES OF THE INGREDIENTS.  QUITE A FEW HAVE HANDWRITTEN NOTES ABOUT VARIATIONS OR QUANTITIES, A FEW INTERESTING ONES WE SAW WAS ONE THAT NOTED "PROF. CROSS SAID THEY EMBALMED A HORSE AND USED A 10% SOLUTION OF FORMALHYDE (SIC) THAT IS 10 OZ. FORMALHYDE AND 90 OZ. WATER, WITHOUT DILUTING, AS WE DO FOR OUR INJECTIONS."  AND ANOTHER, THIS ONE ON THE PRE-INJECTION FLUID PAGE:  "NOT SATISFACTORY, TOO MANY CHEMICALS WHICH PREVENTS PROPER CIRCULATION OF THE ARTERIAL FLUID THAT FOLLOWS.  FRAN SAID THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO EMBALM AFTER THE USE OF THIS PRE-INJECTION FLUID".  THERE ARE SEVERAL PAGES OF LIQUID FACE POWDER FORMULAS, WITH VARYING AMOUNTS OF COLORING; WE ASSUME THIS COULD BE FOR DIFFERENT COMPLEXION TONES.
THIS IS A UNIQUE  ITEM AND CERTAINLY VERY INTERESTING FOR THE COLLECTOR IN THIS AREA.
