Lady with umbrella and purse - 7/8/2003 5:05:01 PM    Guest I have an odd bottle which I have been unable to identify as to its origin. It stands 9 inches tall. It is a figure bottle of a woman. In her right hand she is holding an umbrella (parasol?) to her body and with her left hand she is holding a purse. She has a kerchief around her neck. The bottom of the bottom says: DES.PAT.81611 5 below that is the following symbol as described: A symbol of a oval (vertical) with a diamond shape (horizontal) through the middle with a 1 or I in the center where both symbols converge. On either side of this symbol (left side) is a 7 and (on the right side is) a 4. I received this bottle with a laundry sprinkler in the top. I am unsure if this was a bottle containing some kind of liquid or if it was truly a laundry sprinkler bottle. There are no screw thread on the top of the bottle either inside or out. So it must have originally had a cork or stopper (or sprinkler head) in it. The pics below show a milky appearance to the glass. This is from repeated use as a sprinkler bottle. Actually the bottle when it was new it was clear glass. Can anyone identify the origins of this bottle for me? Your assistance would be much appreciated.

I have seen these before but don' t know what they held. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to Guest) Post #: 2

RE: Lady with umbrella and purse - 7/9/2003 9:47:46 AM    Guest It' s possible it might be a mustache or an upper lip. I checked out the eBay auctions using " Mr. Pickwick" and can see some similarity in the face, but why is " he" holding a purse? I tried to take a pic of just the face for further identification, but they were' nt clear enough to bother with. Thanks for your input. Hey! I like this forum. I' m not an expert on bottle collecting, but I do learn a lot by coming here and reading other posts. Thanks! _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=LanceGilletteMusic (in reply to Guest)   Post #: 4
