Goetting & Co. Products

CP Company || Goetting Pages: Main | Products | Advertisements | Sample & Trade Cards

NOTE: The majority of the Goetting & Company products below lack precise dates. No catalogs, order forms, or representative sales material makes dating of the products extremely difficult, if not virtually impossible. I have tried to break the dating into one of two eras: pre-McConnell ownership - 1875 to 1896 and McConnell ownership - 1896 to probably 1918. COLLECTOR'S NOTE: One clear delineation between a pre-1896 Goetting and a post-1896 Goetting is that before McConnell's purchase of the business in 1896, all products were labeled with "A. Goetting & Co., NY", whereas after McConnell's purchase of the company, all later products were subsequently labeled with "Goetting & Co., NY"...dropping the "A".

Cleofan Perfume ~Early-1900s (Sixteen Ounce bottle)

Venetian Carnation Perfume ~Early-1900s (Two Ounce bottle)

Jockey Club Perfume ~Probably 1904-1909 (One Ounce bottle)

Violet Perfume ~1905-1907 (One Ounce bottle)

Note: the key indicator used to define the dates on the perfumes above rests in the use of the "Goetting" girl label--apparently many of the items sold by Adolph Goetting were adorned with the side portrait of  woman's head. the Violet perfume does not carry the classic "Goetting Girl" label design and is put up in a bottle similar to that used by the California Perfume Company during the early 1900s. This is believed to be a Goetting perfume that was manufactured and sold under the watchful eye of David H. McConnell.
