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.
