Chris snagged this unusual item off of eBay. I’d really like to know when this was produced, because some of the font details are fairly close to the look of the Jeep font in 1945.

Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

I find this interesting, an early example of name brand, cross marketing. Must of been some major soap maker that viewed a potential market for their product. Was it any big name like Lever Brothers, Proctor & Gamble?
I love it. The Universal manly soap.
CAN I WASH MY RUSTY JEEP WITH IT ?
A quick search suggested the company was an industrial shop rather than a soap-related shop. I tried to do a better search, but my brain is a bit mushy right now.
I did a search for C.I. Togstad Company and came up with they did spices, food coloring, bottled syrup flavorings and baking powder. There was hints of something about supplying Trade catalogs for machine shops. But this appears to have been an unrelated name/company out of Wisconsin.
Thanks Blaine!
Dave & Blaine, Thanks for your time & effort. Interesting how a food based Co. is marketing a soap product.
