A small 4" tall ( to top of stopper ) deep PALMER or TEAL GREEN colored rectangular-shaped antique PERFUMED SMELLING SALTS bottle.   Th is is a very early hand Blown Into Mold (BIM) bottle with a tooled top, dating back into the 1800's.

  • Bottle embossed: "Palmer ", which represents the Solon Palmer Co .  Then, the glass stopper is embossed with a large "P ", for Palmer .

  • Condition:  This bottle is in EXCELLENT CLEAN condition, and still retains much of the original contents.  The glass stopper is stuck in place, it does not move, at least, we've not tried to move it.  The bottle itself has some traces of wear and stain, from age and use, including a super thin flake off of one edge, but other than that it has NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc.  The glass stopper DOES have some cracking, chipping, on it.  (Please see picture to get accurate idea of overall condition)

  • Age:  An early hand-blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled top, ca. late 1800's.

  • Shipping: All DOMESTIC shipping charges INCLUDE insurance. We have enjoyed shipping our items all over the world and are happy to offer most of our items to international buyers. Yet insuring International parcels is very expensive so PLEASE NOTE; we do NOT insure International orders unless winning buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance quote. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and send payment acknowledgments and shipping confirmations. Your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time. IMPORTANT NOTE: If our shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is especially important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are rough estimates.

This is a beautiful example of an antique smelling salts bottle.   Originally it was filled with salt crystals and ammonia and used as a smelling salts product, but the salt crystals have dissolved over time.  Here is a little bit about the company that put this bottle out:  Solon Palmer, founder of this company, became one of the most successful perfumers in America, and was probably the first to engage in the manufacture of perfumes on a commercial scale, with the height of popularity coming in the 1890-1920's time period. He was born in New Hampshire on February 23, 1823. Growing to adulthood, he moved west to Cincinnati Ohio where in June of 1847, he opened his first perfume shop at 8 West 4th Street. Business was good, and he moved several years later to 169 Main street where he occupied a 3 story building.  Solon Palmer sought an even larger market, and in 1871 he moved the business to New York City.   Due to continued success, the company moved again in NYC to larger quarters at 376 Pearl Street, occupying a store and basement, each having an area of 50x100 feet and being fitted with all of the necessary cosmetic products to suit an ever growing American populace.  Palmer carried a heavy and complete general stock, and gave employment to a number of hands, to manufacture and handle it.   He had up to sixteen traveling salesmen in early twentieth century America, who were constantly on the road.  As a result, Palmer's goods could be be found on the counters and shelves of every leading drug and fancy goods store in every city and town of importance in this country.   Palmer's soaps and perfumes were manufactured by him in all odors, and put up in all styles from the plain clear glass little vials, to elaborate and fancy cut and colored apothecary display bottles.    As early as the 1870's, Solon's son Eddy had begun to work in the business, and in 1892, Solon made his son a full business partner.   Founder Solon Palmer passed away at his home on 622 West End Avenue on January 19, 1903.  Eddy Palmer continued to grow the business, and it was during the time period of 1890-1920, that most the attractive PALMER'S bottles were made (LIKE THIS ONE) the ones that the bottle collectors of today collect.  In 1934, Eddy Palmer passed away and control of the business went to his sons, Lubin and Solon. The company continued in business through the 1940's, but gradually lost market share and, from what little can be found, went out of business in the early 1960's.  This bottle is one of the very few tangible things left behind that testify to the existence of this once thriving dynasty , check it out!
