Foote & Jenks Perfumers

[surfaceone]

Here's one that I unpacked from the good old days. It was freshly dug when it got packed away. I never looked it up, didn't really clean it well. There was hardly any fondling at all...

I immediately thought of RED Matthews when I saw it again. Perhaps he can do some splaining on how the bottom of the cavity came to have this tornadic effect. Calling Mr. Matthews...

It's having a bit of a soak just now, and I'm hoping to get better photos tomorrow.

"Mark Twain was publishing “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,†the Brooklyn Bridge was celebrating its first anniversary, Grover Cleveland was president, the cornerstone was laid for the Statue of Liberty, and Messrs. Foote and Jenks began producing their fine flavors. The year? 1884.

Two young pharmacists, Charles E. Foote and Charles C. Jenks, began to manufacture lotions, perfumes, and extracts for their pharmacy customers. The superiority of their products soon attracted the attention of the budding dairy, candy, and soft drink industries. Sales to these manufacturers grew so great that by 1900 Foote & Jenks retail sales were ceased." The Foote & Jenks Corp.

I could speculate but yes, Red can probably explain.
It does look like someone got screwed though, content wise.
That's cool.[8D]

Here's another Foote & Jenks bottle I've had for a while. It's 8" tall, nice quality clear glass with a cut glass stopper. Because of its size, I wondered if it could have been a store counter jar. It has a fancy logo/monogram in center with 2 winged beasts on either side.
