In this guide I have listed the various perfumes presented by Theodore Ricksecker of New York City and Hoboken,NJ.

 I know there have to be more, so if I left one out, please let me now.

The Ricksecker family established themselves in Dover, Ohio. Theodore Ricksecker eventually became a resident of Brooklyn, and a druggist in New York City in the mid-1800s.  He is credited to have been the first American to establish a perfumery company, launching his first fragrance in 1868.  Over the decades, he became renowned for his rich spice and floral fragrances in perfumes and colognes.  His use of pottery and glass, in a variety of shapes, colors, techniques, and sizes were part of the appeal -- then, as is now for collectors.  In 1889, as an exhibitor in the Universal Exposition in Paris, he won a silver medal for one of his exhibits.

Some rare Ricksecker perfume bottles are made up of porcelain, many of these pieces have delicate handpainting and little corks or metal crown stoppers. Even rarer are the perfumes in colorful end of day glass bottles.
