During the Niku VI expedition we found a small broken jar (designated TIGHAR Artifact 2-9-S-1) of rather distinctive design. The jar is of a type known as an "ointment pot" and markings embossed on the bottom show that it was made by the Hazel-Atlas Glass Company. Further research has shown that the jar matches Hazel-Atlas design No. 1995. The only product we have found advertised that appears to have used this style of container is Dr. Berry's Freckle Cream, an ointment intended to fade freckles. It was marketed from 1892 until 1961. Earhart is known to have been concerned about her freckles.
From Amelia: A Life of the Aviation Legend, by Goldstein and Dillon.
This refers to the New York ticker tape parade after the "Friendship" flight:
"As photographers snapped, several spectators, eager for a glimpse of the famous bob, sang out 'Take off you hat, Amelia!' She made a little face, but obligingly removed her modish straw cloche. Tossing it to Muriel, she remarked ruefully, 'Here's where I get sixty more freckles on my poor nose, I guess!'" (page 62)
Check your grandmother's medicine cabinet. We would very much like to find an existing jar of
Dr. Berry's Freckle Ointment for direct comparison to TIGHAR Artifact 2-9-S-1.
