very nice , 1880s , to 1890s if it has a ground lip . It is ether a perfume or smiling salts . the other company that had similar looking stuff was most likely Palmers .

I cant get the top off anything i can do to make it come off without tearing it up?

 

[mikeya]

I will go with perfume or cosmetic. I cant get the lid off don't want to tear it up.So i still could use some help with I D I cant be the only one to find something like this or am i who knows?

It is definitely a high cost, expensive perfume or scent bottle or smelling salts. I would definitely leave the top / lid alone. What difference does the inside make? I think you have a rather valuable item, it is quite different than most and that's why it's difficult to find information. As Jim has said, I'm pretty sure it dates back into the late 19th century, maybe back as far as into the 1870s. If it matters I think it's worth at least $50. Jim (the other one)

Soak it and get the metal top off, under that should be the ground glass stopper which might be tougher to remove.
They are great looking bottles cleaned up.

So you have seen this bottle or have one? Do you know the value and how old it is?

Here's an old post and the price mentioned is about the same. They may sell well at the low end but I've never seen one sell over $30.http://www.antique-bottle...um/Perfume-m62407.aspx
