Cosmetics Container?

[Southern Relic]

Found this in the creek yesterday. Maybe a cosmetics container? It says "patent 12042" on the bottom, which I couldn't find out any information about. Then it looks to have a 25 below that.

Yeah these were typically for some kind of skin cream. Very common in 50s dumps.

Probably a face cream or lotion. Most likely from the 50's.

It is difficult to see, but the patent number is 120421 and here is that patent image and an ad for a cream deodorant jar of that design.
