Hilton's Insoluble Cement

Samuel F. Hilton and William D. Hilton were manufacturers of HILTON'S INSOLUBLE CEMENT circa 1863. The offices of Hilton Bros. & Co. were located at the corner of Pine and Dyer Streets in Providence until moving to the corner of Stewart and Conduit Streets in 1864.

The cement came in a liquid to be used as easily as paste, and was recommended for all types of repairs on many types of materials.

The company only remained in business for eight years, closing it's doors in 1871.

Examples of the cement bottles are not very common. They are cylindrical, have a widemouth consistent with a blacking or shoe polish bottle, and come pontilled and smooth based.
