    I was doing some spring cleaning and found some items which I think belong to my grand mother.
    I was going to dispose them away after keeping the things we wanted.

    But it got me wondering if they have any value or if I should just get rid of them? If i were to get rid of them would you recommend ebay? Where else can i list them?

    Here it goes. Some perfume bottles.

    The first one is empty

    One of this is Blue Grass from Elizabeth Arden, though it appears full I wonder if it is the actual perfume or has been refiled with another perfume.

    Also the empty bottle seems to be some sort of refillable perfume bottle to carry around?

    How smart of you to check instead of just tossing. Yes, old perfume bottles, even empty, may have value. Yours are really hard to see from your photographs though. (Hint: It would be helpful if you photographed items on a plain background and closer-up.) Those associated with designers, such as Robert Piguet, are generally of more interest. Baghari was introduced in 1950 and wasn't one of his best sucessful perfumes. Still, there may be interest in the packaging. No one loves, loves eBay but it does reach the widest possible audience and it's international.

    I've sold many vintage perfumes on ebay. People collect empty bottles and original boxes. Refillable purse-size bottles are also collectible, but you are correct. Many times, they were refilled with other scents. On a personal note, on my honeymoon in Paris, I found the Robert Piguet shop and bought little bottles of Fracas for my mother and sisters as souvenirs. I don't think many women wear those scents today - too heavy.

    If they have little ebay value, I suggest donating them to Salvation Army or the local church shop rather than throwing them in the trash. Someone will want them!

    A very good suggestion about donating on if you decide eBay not a good (financial) return on (time) investment.

    Thanks a lot - Debora and NewEngland.

    Does not look like it is worth the effort. Will donate it away.
