Description: Here’s a true antique treasure—a Colgate New York Perfumed Toilet Water Bottle circa 1872-1910s. This nicely preserved bottle captures the charm and craftsmanship of its era, complete with the expected bubbles and minor glass defects typical of its time of manufacture. In good condition, the bottle still has its orifice-reducing stopper, though no cap(or label) is present. It does have two small chips as seen in the photos. While the bottle is a bit dirty due to not wanting to risk damage to the stopper, it remains a fantastic display piece for any collector of antique perfume bottles. Founded in 1806 by William Colgate as a soap and candle manufacturer, the company evolved over the 19th century into a major player in personal care products. By the 1870s, Colgate had expanded into fragrances, toiletries, and cosmetics, becoming well-known for products like perfumed toilet waters. The design and characteristics of this bottle, such as the glass imperfections, support its dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when Colgate was producing high-quality personal care items, including fine fragrances and toilet waters for an upscale clientele. Please note: Buyers should review all photos carefully, as items are sold as-is. Returns are only accepted if I have grossly misrepresented the item(s), and all returns are at the buyer's expense. This genuine antique Colgate bottle is a remarkable find for collectors of vintage perfumes, antique glassware, or historical personal care products. Colgate Company History:Founded in 1806, Colgate initially produced soap, candles, and starch, and by the mid-1800s, it had expanded into personal care products. The company’s move into fragrances in the 1870s was part of its broader evolution into the cosmetics and toiletries market. The era of 1872-1910 marked significant growth for Colgate, with the introduction of perfumes, toilet waters, and other luxurious toiletries that catered to a growing market of consumers interested in personal hygiene and luxury goods. This bottle is a beautiful reminder of Colgate’s impact on the personal care industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
