RE: X . BAZIN ? - 4/7/2009 12:14:57 PM    digphilly   Posts: 166 Joined: 2/3/2009 From: Philadelphia Status: offline This is what I googled... "Xavier Bazin established a soap and perfumery business in Philadelphia sometime before 1850. He manufactured X. Bazin’s Celebrated Toilet Soaps, Shaving Creams, Bandoline, Philocome Pomade, Toilet Waters, Cosmetics, Bulk Extracts, Cologne, etc. He was the sole proprietor until the mid 1870s when his sons joined the business. In 1875, he formed a partnership with Robert O. Kilduffe, forming X. Bazin & Co. In 1877, Hall and Ruckel of New York became sole agents for his products." What is not on Google... This other French guy Eugene Roussel came to Philly in 1838. He immediatly set up a perfumery where Eugene made fancy soaps and stuff and had a mineral water fountain there too. Xavier bought the perfumery business from Eugene Roussel because Roussel wanted to focus on his mineral water venture. So if you collect pontiled philly sodas...you need all 38 roussel varients....and then you need some Bazin bottles because of the tie between them...and Bazin had some pot lids...so you need those too....and if your collecting pot lids....your not collecting sodas anymore.... See the situation im in? (in reply to Digswithstick) Post #: 2

I tried for years to concentrate on bottles only from San Francisco but was never successful. I added San Jose bottles to my collection. Rare peninsula druggists no further north than Redwood City...a collection of Hollister bottles...Santa Cruz & Watsonville druggists and hutchinsons...a whole box of different embossed olive oil bottles...labeled druggists and medicines...local pottery jugs, steins, cream pots...
