    Description

    Henry Levison created a company called Permanent Pigments in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1933. In 1955, he invented the first commercially viable acrylic gesso called Liquitex -- and renamed his company Liquitex.
    The paint for sale here is sealed, new old stock Permanent Pigments Zinc White. The label says "Composition guaranteed by Henry W. Levison, president." I assume it was produced before the company changed its name in 1955.
    The pigment is listed as pure zinc oxide in a vehicle of "pure linseed oil treated by light."
    All 150 ml tubes are sealed and 5 of the 6 are in their original boxes, all of which have stains/wear. I checked all of the tubes to make sure they're still soft.
