Back in the day barbers used to sterilize their impliments using formaldahyde. A dish of water would be placed in the bottom of the cabinet, formalin tablets would be dissolved in it, and the resulting formaldahyde gas would kill any pathogens. This practice is now illegal, due to it being a known carcinogen. Hope this helps, and that's a cool find, congrats.
