Bogle

This glass bottle once held Bogle’s Electric Hair Dye, Number 1. William Bogle (1817-1891), a wigmaker from Boston, started selling his Electric Hair Dye en 1844. It was advertised as the “best hair dye in the World!”. The bottle was found in 2007, during a major excavation conducted by Archaeological Services Inc. (ASI) at the northeast corner of Simcoe Street and Adelaide Street West in Toronto. On this site, archaeologists recovered almost 70 000 artifacts on the site, including four Bogle’s Electric Hair Dye bottles in a privy.
