In my Dad’s Barber shop he used a product that had a woman with a v-neck (cropped to shoulder) and locks of waves. It had a 50/60 look on the bottle. I’ve searched my whole life but cannot find this product. Any suggestions? I’ve tried a lot of the basics/Barber Shops/online…etc….Any ideas? Thx

Try googling the above and see if you can locate someone that has the answer for you.
I also did a few searches on ebay, etsy and amazon for vintage hair products or vintage barbershop ads.

Thank YOU so much! I remember my Dad use to go to Topeka, KS to get his products. Maybe they would have some type of record through the national association. Great idea! I tried doing some searches but came up empty handed before I posted here. I’m going to follow up with the suggested products. I will report back. Thanks so much!

You could try iantiquesonline.ning.com/group/barbershopcollectibles or theantiquebarber.com or you could buy the book Barbershop : History and Antiques by Christian R. Jones it might be available on Kindle now. The only products I know of that have a womans pic on them is Bay Rum No. 9 and Hewleywoods Layrite. You might google these two to see if it is the same picture. I hope this helps

Thank YOU for this reply. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s rum. I’ve only smelled it once since I have been an adult. It immediately transported me back to my Dad’s Barber Shop. I am going to see what google might show of these two and I will report back. Thanks so very much for the input here. I truly was at a loss for any other action. Thanks!

After checking it over, I think this Rum No. 9 is it! I’m SOOOO excited! I am going to order some today and will also check the other sites to see what they might have that I would remember. Thanks so much again!
