<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 2121292, member: 88&quot;]Your pink bottle is done in a fired-on color that was called Old Rose &amp; is model number A-52. It was shown in the 1928 DeVilbiss catalog. I don&#039;t know who they bought the bottle from, but it was likely an American maker. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your Topaz bottle with the dauber was made by Cambridge &amp; is shown in the 1925 catalog. Its model number was DF-3. </p><p><br /></p><p>Like DeVilbiss other makers made the hardware &amp; then bought their bottles from a variety of companies in many different counties. Although the Bohemian countries made many of the enameled bottles, other countries also made them. It is unlikely that you will be able to positively ID the maker unless you happen to find one with an original label of some kind. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the bottom shelf the Mother of Pearl should be marked Le Kid &amp; was made by Marcel Franke. The little chest next to it was sold at Vantine&#039;s. Here is a little background on them. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://c-j-l-c.org/portfolio/the-view-from-vantines-the-oriental-goods-store-and-the-global-marketplace/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://c-j-l-c.org/portfolio/the-view-from-vantines-the-oriental-goods-store-and-the-global-marketplace/" rel="nofollow">http://c-j-l-c.org/portfolio/the-view-from-vantines-the-oriental-goods-store-and-the-global-marketplace/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The primary focus of my collection is the DeVilbiss Company &amp; since they sold perfume bottles from c.1907 through c.1968 there are more than enough bottles to hunt. I do also collect the Czechoslovakian cut crystal ones &amp; the filigree miniature bottles mainly from the 1920&#039;s to the 1940&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what books you have, but one that deals a lot with the French atomizers is <i><u>The Perfume Atomizer An Object with Atmosphere</u></i> by Tirza True Latimer. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a wonderful book about the DeVilbiss bottles, but I will warn you it is on the pricey side. It is called <i><u>DeVilbiss Perfume Bottles and their glass company suppliers 1907 to 1968</u></i> by Marti DeGraaf &amp; Toby Mack. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am glad you enjoyed looking through the IPBA Virtual Museum. I am proud to say that a few of the bottles shown in the DeVilbiss category reside in my cabinets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
