For Tin Cup

As you know,,, I am on a quest to find the perfect mid- 1960's deco items for our Silver Streak...'home on wheels'...
Well I recently came across this container.... and guessed it to be from either the '50's or '60's...
I wasn't sure...at first I thought it might be a diaper pail... or a lingerie holder (for the laundry)...
I showed it to hubby dearest and her said, Oh My Gosh! we had those when we were little kids, except ours were a bit wider...
Well after cleaning it up, I discovered a patent  date for 1958... SCORE!
Then on further inspection, I saw it was a 'Tuppercraft" by Tupperware...
I am at a disadvantage, as I was living in Germany almost all of the 1960's (returned Stateside in 1969) so for me I really have to rely on family photos, and search the Internet for what I missed out on. I never even heard of Tupperware until 1969 when we moved to Kansas,,, and then we moved to the suburbs in SO. California... where Tupperware was really popular.
So this container is 20" tall and 7" across.... I am guessing it was for a lady's delicates...
Anyways, now I am off to go research it on the Internet...
 I think I will use it to store toiletries in the trailer or maybe my 'delicates' that need laundering!
