Hey all, I thought I would post some of the cool acquisitions for this week, most courtesy of my friends Mike and Dana in AZ!

First off was this cool little torpedo bottle for which Mike welded together a neat holder!

While I don't collect perfume or cologne bottles per say, when I saw this one for $4.00 I grabbed it, as it appears to be pretty early, and looks to have a pontail mark on the bottom and the entire "neck" is applied as there are no seams. The only info I could find on this brand was here:

If anyone has better idea of a date for this bottle or more history it would be appreciated:

ORIGINAL: crozet86

Nifty little bottle holder there,if i were you i would find some of those felt stick ons for any metal edge that might rub your bottle.What is embossed on bottle?

Good idea on the felt, as I have some of those.

The bottle says:

Meadowcroft & Law
Chemists
Blackburn

Then the back side has a picture of a hand pump with Trade on one side and Mark on the other
Then the word Street at the bottom.
