Colored hair bottles are one of the most beautiful categories of antique bottle collecting, as they come in a vast array of shapes and colors as this one testifies to.   Even the embossing on these bottles is pretty catchy, "
HAIR VIGOR
" as the
definition of Vigor is
:   1)
Active bodily or mental strength or force
;  2)
Active healthy well-balanced growth especially of plants
(as if it was able to actually grow and nurture hair much as you would do for a house plant!!!)
and 3)
intensity of action or effect
.   This is the ultimate colored HAIR TONIC bottle
