| The product was one of many sold by H.H. Warner & Co. The Log Cabin type bottle was not used until 1887, and since the Scalpine came in one, it dates from that time forward. Apparently the label originally called the preparation Scalpine, and then starting in 1889, just Hair Tonic. The bottle stayed the same throughout this change. The
Scalpine was listed for sale in the 1896 Morrison & Plummer catalog. In 1899, the name "Scalpine" was registered as a Trade Mark by Newton Edmonds, of Washington, DC (TM #32,669), but I'm not sure of his relation to the firm. Credit for most of the above information is due to Michael W. Seeliger. Pieces were taken from his book: "H.H. Warner, His Company & His Bottles." This article was also edited by Ed Ojea, who, together with Jack Stecher has put together another excellent book on Warner's called "Warner's Reference Guide." Pictures courtesy of Ed Ojea.
