    STARTED IN 1963
    Q-tips were originally manufactured by Gerstenzang at the Q-TIP Co, Long Island City, New York. In 1962, the Q-tips® Company was acquired by Chesebrough-Ponds. In 1987, Unilever, the company founded in 1885 in England as Lever Brothers by grocer William Hesketh Lever and his brother James, acquired Chesebrough-Pond’s including Q-tips® cotton swabs.
    For those who are not familiar with this product, a Q Tip Pop Up Dispenser is a compact and stylish storage solution for your cotton swabs (also known as Q-tips). It has a unique pop-up design in the form of a popular 1960's rocket that allows you to easily access one cotton swab at a time without having to open the entire package. This not only keeps your swabs clean and hygienic but also saves you from the hassle of dealing with messy containers or ziplock bags. They were offered to the public in the form of an advertising premium. Inside certain boxes of Q-tips was a form inviting customers to send the form and 98 Cents to the address provided on the form and they would receive the Q-tip dispenser pictured on the form. There were two versions offered. One, a blue rocket, matching a Q-tips box color and a beige model designed in Cheesebrough colors. Obviously, the blue model was more popular, sold in droves. Meanwhile, the beige model became the rarer of the two.
    The Q Tip Pop Up Dispenser offers several benefits that make it worth investing in. Firstly, its compact size makes it perfect for small bathrooms or travel purposes. Secondly, the pop-up feature ensures that your cotton swabs stay clean and dust-free. Thirdly, the dispenser is made of durable plastic material which makes it long-lasting and easy to clean. Lastly, its sleek design adds a touch of elegance to any bathroom counter.
    Condition: Found in a box, stored in an attic for 50 years. Excellent condition. No apparent blemishes. Fully functional.

    Mechanical device disclaimer: Every mechanical device has a certain life span. The day it leaves the factory, it becomes one day closer to its end date. When I find these devices, I plug them in, wind them up or put in a battery. If they buzz, whirr or seem like they're doing what they are supposed to be doing, I keep them for auction. At that point in time, I have NO IDEA of how old or how much use they have incurred. They may last a lifetime or fail the next time they are turned on. Therefore, I sell these as "Decorative or Ornamental purposes" only, not functional. Which may be referred to as "AS IS".
