In this guide I have listed the various perfumes of Wm. H. Brown & Bros, David S. Brown & co, and Nathan R. Brownell.

William H. Brown & Bros (also called Brown & Brothers) perfumery was located in Baltimore, Md.

Their bottles are hard to find and I have named all of those I could find in advertisements of the era, so they may have been originally launched years before. I am sure there are more, so if you know of any,  please let me know. I believe their perfume company was established in the mid 1800s. In 1871, their warehouse was destroyed by a storm. They trademarked a perfume called Violet Simplicity in 1900.

• 1880s Indian Queen

David S. Brown & Co was established in New York City during the mid to late 1800s.

I saw an advertisement for 1882 that listed them as soapmakers & perfumers.

Their bottles are also very hard to find and I have listed all the perfume names I could find. David S. Brown & Co. produced The Yellow Kid soap around 1902.

The perfumes of David S. Brown:

• 1878 Bonanza
• 1895 Forest Fringe
• 1895 Brownie

Nathan R. Brownell was established in Schenevus, NY, probably around the turn of the century. I was only able to locate one of their scents, but I am sure there are more out there.

The perfumes of Nathan R. Brownell:
