A S HINDS CO. PORTLAND MAINE USA.

Here is one of many ads for Hinds Honey and Almond Cream lotion.  You can find them by using the link below.  It was advertised for sunburn, younger skin, etc.

The family business was the A. S. Hinds Co. in Portland which was famous for various creams for the face, hands, and Skin. The A.S. Hinds company was started in 1875.  They were bought out in 1907 by Lehn & Fink, maker of Lysol. The honey almond cream product was still available in 1948. 

Hinds Honey and Almond Cream was formulated and marketed by Aurelius Stone Hinds in Portland Maine.  He moved to Portland in 1862 and worked in a drugstore, which he bought in 1870. He worked on the formulation of the cream for a number of years, and began selling it from the drugstore probably sometime in the latter part of the 1870's. It was such a huge success that he soon had to put it into commercial production, first in Portland, and at some point distribution was shifted to a company in New Jersey. A number of different bottles from the very early days of the product are commonly found, but unfortunately, they do not carry a date...

Hinds cream bottles are common finds.  They are found all around the U.S. and overseas.  This is obviously not one of the older ones.  Notice the screw cap.
