(An uncle also worked at S&B in Bloomfield, NJ for a time as a chemist). I also have a small collection of ephemera related to the company and some of their products.
One engraving of the "fisherman" you refer to has a notation that it is a "Scene taken from life on the coast of Norway." The engraving was created by Major, Knapp & Co. Happy to accept any questions I might be able to help with. I am also interested in learning more about the history of the company which had many offices around the world (Southall/London, Frankfurt, New York, etc.). Sadly, I have had great difficulty in finding appropriate resources to search. I am currently researching my family ancestry and it has been suggested that the man with the fish on his back used to advertise Scots Emulsion is my Great Great Grandfather Alexander Robertson (known locally as Sandy Hall). He was a prominent fisherman in the town of Berwick upon Tweed on the England / Scotland border and lived between 1829-1911. " Sandy Hall" is on two photos of Greenses fishermen, one at the fishermens seat, and the other at the Ballast Quay.Ī poster to the Facebook site Berwick upon Tweed Family History group recently posted the following. My dad remembered him and said he was pictured with a large cod over his shoulder, this being used to advertise a brand of cod liver oil called Scott's Emulsion. I understand that he received a payment for this.įrom what research I have been able to make with regard to the product and its advertising it does seem remote that the image of the man with the fish was indeed Sandy Hall, however it is just possible that in your archives you may have some information that can confirm or deny the suggestion. Hello When I was young we used to live in Mexico and my mom used to give us Emulsion Scott even though we didn’t have a lot off money she managed to give us this vitamins, I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your time.
