Bellchamber's Golden Hair Wash
This was one of the products of Robert T. Bellchambers of New York City. Bellchambers registered his "Golden Hair Wash" as a trademark in 1884 (View). He included the two sample labels shown with the trademark petition to show how the trademark was used. I've transcribed most of the label text below. I noticed that the words used here are almost exactly the same as those used on Marchand's Crisoline Blonde Hair Wash. The Golden Hair Wash was for sale in the 1885 McKesson & Robbins Catalog.
BELCHAMBER'S
GOLDEN HAIR WASH

I can warrant that my GOLDEN HAIR WASH is the best in the world. By its use, after a few applications, the Hair gradually acquires that beautiful Sunny Hue, or Golden color so universally sought after and admired. The GOLDEN HAIR WASH, from the harmless nature of the ingredients to which enter into its composition, may be used without fear, even by the most timid. By its mild stimulating action, the Growth of the Hair is promoted,, and from its strengthening qualities, any tendency to falling off is arrested.
