A must for every well groomed Civil War era dandy, civilian or military, on those infrequent occasions of socializing in mixed company, a spot of rose- water scented hair oil was sure to offer the advantage with the young ladies. This little stopper bottle stands approximately 3 3/8 inches and remains in excellent condition with no chips stains or cracks and sports a colorful, original ROSE / HAIR OIL label put up by C. B. Woodworth / ROCHESTER CHEMICAL WORKS (see: 1862 Rochester N.Y. Business Directory) A supporter of the Union cause, Woodworth’s Chemical Works participated in the 1863 Rochester LADIES HOSPITAL RELIEF ASSOCIATION Christmas Bazaar. At the Chicago Great Sanitary Fair proceeds of the sale of Rochester Chemical Works products were donated to that soldiers aid society. (see: Central Library / Rochester’s Historical Monograph Collection) An attractive little personal memento with a neat Soldier’s Aid Society association.
