Jerome's Hair Color Restorer
This was one of the products of Margaret Hayes of Brooklyn New York. This product was advertised by the Hayes family from 1857 until 1860. It still listed for sale in 1875 in the John F. Henry, Curran & Co. catalog. As you can see from the 1857 ad, the preparation was made by T. H. Jerome.

The following is the only known Jeromes mold. To hair bottle collectors this is one of the most desirable bottles there is. Especially if it's in it's green, pontiled variety. Most of these examples are from George Waddy's collection (View Gallery). Bottle photos courtesy of George. The one show at the right is from a Glass Works Auction.
