A few I know nothing about

[craigc90]

I am getting ready to put some more on e-bay and have been going through boxes and found a few I cant find in my books and thought could be a little less common. First is a BIM whiskey Embossed S.N.Pikes Magnolia The Fleishmans Co. Cincinnati Ohio.

Second one is a Med embossed Eastman Rochester N.Y. it is clear but is a crude early BIM bottle

The Eastman is possibly a colgne or perfume. Eastman was a big perfumer in Rochester. Rochester was a huge producer of perfumes and toilet waters. I think they were called city of roses or something like. The whole place probably stank like cheap perfume[]

Are you sure its not eastman kodak? They had several different bottles of developing chemicals for pictures. I personally think that it would have to be eastman kodak. Just my 2 cents. Swizzle

Its certainly possible it had something to do with George Eastman's film business since it was around at that time. Need to find one with a label. So far all the labeled eastman bottles I have seen have been for the perfumer.

I just read an article in one of my bottle mags on eastman kodak bottles and the pic they had showed 4 to 6 different bottles. Some were the amber ones shown in the link above and some were clear. I just wish I could remember which mag and had the mag. here. It just seems like there was a few that simply said "eastman rochester" on them. That would be a nasty mistake giving yourself a quick splash of photo chemicals instead of cologne. I'll try to get a macro pic of the bottle that I think looks the closest to the one pictured above.

I believe that the two were related. The Eastman family in Rochester were fairly well off. I will ask my sis. she is a shutter bug for a living. Pics of the stars in the society and movie mags. She had some pics that showed a set of Eastman photographic chemical bottles with lables and that looks like one of them but I can't be sure and she is now living in Vegas. I will contact her and see what shee has to say about gettin me a pic.

Has this info...
By the last half of the 19th century and early 20th century, the number of perfume companies increased, and names such as C.B. Woodworth & Sons, Tappan Perfume Co., Solon Palmer, Colgate Co., Eastman (a division of Andrew Jergens Company), B.D. Baldwin, and Richard Hadnut became recognized for their perfumes.

Eastman was part of Jergens.
