Does any one know what a "paste-pot" is, literally and/or figuratively? Thanks for any information.

I saw on a few sites references to "billstickers"--men in Victorian England whose job was to post advertisements on poles. The glue they used was carried in a "paste pot".
There is also a comic book hero series called "The Trapster" aka "Paste Pot Pete" aka Peter Petruski who invented a super glue and uses it to fight various baddies.
