"Smells like a French........." - 8/20/2004 4:43:02 PM    Gigster   Posts: 23 Joined: 8/19/2004 Status: offline Here's a nice perfume bottle. Found it in my Grandmother's things after she died. Know nothing about it; says: W B Co. on bottom. Any idea how old, and who W. B. Co. is? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Just guessing from what I'd seen among my mother's and grandmother's treasures, it looks like 1940's, judging from the way the atomizer bulb is covered in the netting and the style of the flowers. So nice to see one intact - if the bulbs are rubber, they often deteriorated. What type of tube goes down in the bottle from the atomizer? If it appears to be glass or metal, I would still say 40's. If it looks like plastic, 50's or later. It looks like a type of vanity bottle that the lady would put her own favorite perfume into, rather than a brand of perfume. (in reply to Gigster) Post #: 2
