Pomade help!!!

[pyshodoodle]

Not sure if you've all been following the Shupps Grove pics, so I'm making a new post. Jamie (Glassman) has this bottle. The guy that was selling it told me it was a pomade bottle, but I was entranced by the Peach Puce Tibbits, so I didn't examine this bottle very well. He said he sold it to so-and-so years ago and now he has is again because he bought so-and-so's collection. Jamie has always been told it was an ink bottle. This one has a label that I cannot read at all in this pic, but I assume it's truly a pomade bottle since it has a label. Can anyone give more info on this? I've been trying to find something on the web and can find nothing at all. I know there are some true experts on here that can help solve this mystery. Thanks everyone! Sorry the pic isn't quite in focus!

I'm pretty sure the price was outragous.... for me, anyway. One day, though............!

I often wonder a lot about what people used to smell like years ago.... I think we can only 1/2 imagine it... bear oil, beef marrow, jasmine, turpentine, lard, vaseline, coconut oil, geranium oil, egg whites.................

I was reading through this and thought it was pretty interesting.... but if you google pomades in the book section, you will find a lot of cool stuff!

You will see bottles of this form with mucilage labels as well...

I hear the word Pomade and can't help but think of one of my all time favorite movies, O' Brother Where Art Thou!

"But I don't want FOP, dammit, I'm a Dapper Dan man!", Now young man, If you'd kindly watch your language, this is a public market...I can order you some Dapper Dan, but it'll take about two weeks, "Well now, isn't this place just a geographical oddity?,...Two weeks from anywhere!" []

I just went from memory there, please forgive any inaccuracy....My alltime favorite too, Lobes, but Laur despises that movie...Maybe she just hasn't watched it enough yet like me,...(At least a dozen times[])

It's not like I own it or anything.... but Jamie does - sans label

I was hoping Jeff would chime in a little more on the subject.... I'm trying to get Jamie some more info. Jeff - come back!

Doesn't look like an ink with that mouth....It looks like a small food....horseradish, relish etc.

Re: RE: Pomade help!!!

Hello Jamie Do you still have this bottle? I would sure like to study it - biy it or what ever it takes; I am reviewing a bunch of old bottles - for the observation of how they were applied and tooled. I have always been impressed with sloppy glass under those early marks. RED Matthews
