Hi all
I was going through storage that had a lot of my (now deceased) grandmother's stuff, who was from Liepāja.
I found this small box with a piece of paper and a pin in and can't figure out what it is.
I know the piece of paper is from a ship that she possibly sailed on to Cape Town from London, but I have no idea what the badges could mean or what the box is for.
If anyone has any insight, I'd love to hear it

Thanks 🙂

  2. Checked historical newspapers (https://www.periodika.lv/)

    Regarding box in the first pic:

    1) “Lateļļa” – it seems company name, full name – Latvian oil and petroleum join stock company Latoil (Latvijas eļļu un petroleju a/s. ,,*Lateļļa*” )

    2) Kalpions – its product. Found in one recipe – that by adding Kalpion when you make a soap, it will better foam.
