Baldine Hair Renewer
The Fred P. Kern Chemical Co., of Louisville, Kentucky, registered the word BALDINE, and the phrase: "For Men - For Women," as trademarks for a "Hair Restorative" in 1900. They had been selling the brand since 1898.

I purchased this bottle on eBay in 2002. It looks very similar to Begg's Hair Renewer. The 1902 advertisement (see below) indicates that it was the product of the Baldine Manufacturing Co., of Louisville, KY.
