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)?
