Samborne Cook
This page shows the Carbolic Jelly pots originating from Nottingham.
Samborne Cook, the patron behind the Cook's Carbolic Jelly was born in Somerset in 1857 and lived for 68 years.
In 1873 he moved to Nottingham where he studied as a chemist & druggist culminating in him establishing his own business. In 1885 the Cook's Carbolic Jelly was invented.
Two sizes of pots are known both of which carry numerous lines of writing. Three price levels are listed. The taller one is the rarest of the two.
Further information regarding the history of the manufacturers can be found in the Historical Guide to Deltware and Victorian Ointment Pots book produced by Merrs Houghton & Priestley.
