Embossed Lucky Tiger Hair Products Bottle. |
Lucky Tiger Dandruff Remedy was first marketed around 1917 by the Lucky Tiger Dandruff Company of Kansas City, Mo. In the early 1920s, the company, now Lucky Tiger Remedy Company, was in the hands of Pleasant Stephen Harris, part owner of the successful Harris-Goar Company stores. The Lucky Tiger products were popular in barbershops, and in 1935 Harris trademarked the brand and began to market nationwide.Advertising in the 1950s emphasized sex appeal, including an offer for free Lucky Tiger Pin-Up Girl posters for the well-groomed man’s "Tiger Lair." Although the products became less popular after hair styles changed in the 1960s, Lucky Tiger brand is still available in 2012, and includes a line of "Barber Shop Classics."
This bottle does not appear to be real old. It has an H in a square as the bottle maker's mark on the bottom. That indicates the Hemingray Glass Co., which according to the SHA.org site, would put it between 1924 - 1935.
The maker's marks can really help narrow down the date of a bottle.
