It came in gold &amp; silver crackle glass. The gold has the Tiger Eye stone &amp; the silver one has a Moonstone.</p><p><br /></p><p>The model number was S595-4 &amp; the original retail price was $5.95.</p><p><br /></p><p>The DeVilbiss Co. made only the hardware for their bottles &amp; purchased the bottles from glass companies worldwide during their 60 years of selling perfume bottles. Most of the crackle glass bottles came from Morgantown.</p><p><br /></p><p>This hardware is one of DeVilbiss&#039; patented &quot;Closure&quot; models. They had several different models that all worked to seal the bottles so that when not in use it prevented air from getting into the bottle leading to evaporation of the perfume &amp; it also prevented the bottle from leaking if it got tipped over.</p><p><br /></p><p>This model worked by turning the ornamental Tiger Eye cap &quot;one-half turn&quot; to open the seal &amp; reversing the process to seal the bottle.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW be extremely careful cleaning this bottle. Do not use any type of cleaning products inside because if you do you will be left with a clear crackled bottle. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you are going to sell it online &amp; it has old perfume sludge inside I would leave it as is and then let the new owner deal with the cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have several other bottles with this hardware but for some reason, the crackle bottles have never really appealed to me &amp; no I can&#039;t explain why. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
