In this guide I have listed the various perfumes presented by Solon Palmer of New York, NY from 1878 to 1947.

Solon Palmer was established in 1847, as a Perfumer & Chemist. Early cologne bottles were made of a beautiful shade of deep emerald green or rich teal in color and were usually the laydown types. Later bottles are clear glass, or light aqua glass and are cylindrical or hourglass shaped..

 In 1851, an advertisement reads

"Solon Palmer

Perfumer & Chemist

and wholesale & retail dealer

in every description of

perfumery, fine soaps,

combs, brushes

and toilet articles in general.

Also

Western Agent for

Bazin's (late Roussel's) Perfumery.

An 1886 advertisement giveaway booklet on square dancing, Solon Palmer advertised himself as "the leading perfumer in America, established in 1847". It also listed 45 handkerchief perfumes.

An endorsement appears on the back of a trade card from New York, April 12th, 1884, "I unhesitantly pronounce your Perfumery Toilet Soaps and other toilet articles superior to any I ever used" signed Adelina Patti, who was a world famous soprano opera singer at the time, endorsing this product.

Solon Palmer produced over 100 perfumes from 1885-1920s,  I listed all I could find, I know there are more to be found. If I missed one, please let me know.Some of the 1920s perfumes may have had earlier launch dates than shown. I listed the perfumes as found in advertisements of the era. I also added "circa dates" to some perfumes where I couldnt find an exact date. Sometimes you might find tax stamps on the bottles, generally these are good indicators of age.
