Pomade Jars in barrel form
In from Dave Maryo, President Los Angeles Historical Bottle Club and FOHBC Western Region Director.
On another subject I am still working on the West Region Bulletin and hope to have it out to the West Region members sometime this week. I thought you might like pictures of early pomade jars with brass lids from Philadelphia. I took these to the October LAHBC meeting for our show and tell. Pomade was a hair gel that became popular after the colonial wigs were no longer fashionable in the US. The jars shown are from the X Bazin and Jules Hauel perfume companies in the 1840s to 1860s period.
Best Regards,
Dave
