| Old Gibraltar Opal Hair Tonic | |||||||||||
| This was one of the products of Daniel Stewart, of Indianapolis, Indiana. He was a Wholesale and Retail Druggist there in the 1800s. He claimed to have established his business in 1840. I found him listed in Greensburgh Indiana in 1850. Starting in 1870, he was listed in Indianapolis. Stewart was born in 1824 and died in 1892. I do not know who took over the company after his death. The advertisements for hair products that I've found have all been from after his death. Advertisements: Jan 1906 - Ft Wayne News Mar 1906 - Ft Wayne News Mar 1907 - Ft Wayne News There was also an Opal Egg Shampoo and other toilet preparations. The bottle with the glass stopper was probably a toilet water. Picture of the #1 variant courtesy of Ron Feldhaus.
