Shelf Life of Powders?

[Tony Neville]

Any idea on the age of this? It's been in the shop a long time. Copyright 1957 is the only date on the can.
Was it ever any good? Is it still good?

Most powders/ un opened containers have atleast a one year shelf life. Depending on what kind of preservation agents were use it may be good it may not. take to a local chemist/ university and have them figure out what is in it.

Find out who made it. Maybe it's worth a few hundred bucks to them.
