Hi I find too many items (except the hair dye) on Northrop & Lyman. They also bought other companies. To shorten this up, Northrup & Lyman began as Tuttle, Moses & Northrup of Newscastle Canada West, a branch of Tuttle & Moses Auburn NY Established
in 1854. Between 1859 and 1862 John Lyman & Henry Northrop purchased Tuttle & Moses. Renamed it Northrop & Lyman and in 1874 relocated in Toronto.
Embosing ceased in the 1940's. The bottles were embosed as early as early as 1860
In the mid 1960's renamed Northrup & McGillivedry By 1980 out of business.
