Antique Bottle, Hoyt's German Cologne, Embossed, Applied Top, Circa 1890s, Clear Glass, Small Bottle, Collectible
A wonderful clear glass antique bottle with an applied lip. It is embossed with Hoyt's German Cologne E W Hoyt & Co Lowell, Mass. The bottle is from the circa 1890s. It would be an ideal addition to a pharmaceutical bottle collection. A great gift idea for a collector.
This cologne which made the name Hoyt famous was first developed in his apothecary shop. The name "German" was originally applied to the cologne in 1870. This name was chosen just to give a definite title to the cologne. The cologne initially was only sold in $1.00 bottles. By 1877, the production of the German Cologne became so all consuming that Hoyt sold the apothecary shop so that Hoyt & Co. could devote their full time and energy to producing and selling cologne.
Eli Waite Hoyt was born in Alexandra, N.Y., on September 5, 1838. His parents moved to Lowell, Massachusetts, around 1846. He attended the public schools of Lowell. E.W. Hoyt started his business life in Lowell in 1851 at the age of 13. He initially worked in the apothecary shop of E.A. Staniels. Hoyt eventually became Mr. Staniels' partner and by 1863, when Mr. Staniels died, he succeeded to the full business.
