The variety of products from over a century ago covers the spectrum of vintage Toiletries. Dr. Lynas started in the mid 1850’s with his first powders and Perfumes. He grew his company into one of the nations largest producers of Ladies Toilet Necessities by the early 1870’s. He added his son to the company and label in the late 1890’s and became Dr. J.B. Lynas and Son, Perfumers, Toiletries (JBL).

He died in 1901 and his son ran the business until about 1920. This catalog features products left from Dr. Lynas original company and products added under Dr. J.B. Lynas and Son Company, later to be known as JBL. Here is a photo of the catalog interior.
