Pond's extract - 2/4/2008 10:54:41 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5129 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline I was doing some research on a Pond's Extract bottle and was trying to figure out the history of that product. It was obviously founded in 1846 (from the embossing on later bottles). I saw this site ... http://www.unilever.com/ourbrands/personalcare/Ponds.asp which states ... "The impressive track record of Pond's began when Theron T. Pond, a pharmacist from Utica New York, introduced 'Pond's Golden Treasure' in 1846, a witch-hazel based wonder product. In 1886 it was relaunched as Pond's Extract..." Not sure I am buying the part about Pond's Extract being launched in 1886 since there are pontil marked Pond's Extract bottles. Anyone have any early Pond's Extract bottles (especially with labels)?  _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg Post #: 1

RE: Pond's extract - 2/5/2008 8:28:31 AM    GuntherHess Posts: 5129 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline Thanks for posting that Lobey. I would still like to see one of the pre-1880 labels if someone has one. Here is a photo of one of the earliest Pond's Extracts from fleabay.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 12

RE: Pond's extract - 2/5/2008 8:45:42 AM    GuntherHess Posts: 5129 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline Here is a variant I have. It is a quart size. It has a crude applied lip and some whittling. No 1846 embossed on bottom. It is strap-sided. Probably from early 1880s I would guess.

IN 1974 when I first started collecting ,I would gather all the machine made ponds diggers had left behind . I thought they were idiots and the ponds were worth a small fortune! MY first wife took one look at all the dirty bottles and pointed to the door and said "OUT"! BOY THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF DREAMING AND HASN'T LEFT ME YET ! THOSE PONDS GAVE ME THE SAME FEELING AS CATHEDRAL PICKLES DO NOW! (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 20
