<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" class="">Has anyone heard of "Wife's Pride". My best guess is that this product was marketed as some kind of a wood preservative or coating in the 1950's (give or
take). Our records show that the product was used on an archaeological wooden object at our museum. We are currently doing analysis and would like to track this product down, in part to see how it might compromise the original surface.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt" class="">I also found the research that a previous conservator did on the product. Her notes (hard to read) indicate she checked “Chemical Formulary handbook of material trade names” (1953) and the “Handbook
of Chemical synonyms and trade names”. There is a note stating “US Gortdocs Microprint (?) 1957 – no. 9826 MIL-S-13518B April 8 1957. Military Specification, Sealer, surface, wood preservative.” This is all of the information we have. Finally there is a
poor copy of a newspaper article dating to 1958 with someone with a paint brush and a can of dark liquid – the caption states that this is a new wood preservative being used on this object. I am trying to track down the original photograph to see it more
clearly! <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></p>
