<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 9423156, member: 88&quot;]I scored a couple of things last week for my perfume bottle collection. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The first was not exactly a bargain but this c.1926 DeVilbiss atomizer is absolutely pristine. It retains its original hang tag that has the original retail price of $12.00 written in pencil &amp; the original paper sticker label on the gold-encrusted foot. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the early years, DeVilbiss had a group of women who would hand-crochet the covers for the puff balls on their atomizers. Very few special atomizers got beads added to the covers &amp; this bottle has tiny pink beads scattered throughout the crocheted cover. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1127843616_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1127843619_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1127843624_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I also bought a 1932 presentation box (photos to come later) from this buyer on the same day. He kindly agreed to combine the 2 items. When I opened the box that was the first item I found among the Styrofoam peanuts. I reached into the peanuts expecting to find the bottle but my hand found another box. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I was so surprised when I got the item unwrapped to find a wonderful 1926 presentation box for another one of their atomizers. This one was, even with the damage to the doors, so much more spectacular than the one I got for what I consider a steal I was speechless. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not have the original bottle that would have been sold with this box but I have one with similar decoration. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1127860946_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1127858333_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1127858196_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1127858203_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1127858205_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
