<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 9423396, member: 88&quot;]DeVilbiss did quite a few of this type of presentation boxes mostly during the 1920s. They even had one that was made of wood &amp; was lined in velvet with a hand-painted enamel image of a sailing ship at sea. It held an atomizer, with a matching dauber bottle, powder jar &amp; small pin tray. </p><p><br /></p><p>They marketed these types of boxes to be used later for letters, souvenirs, etc. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, that is US currency.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Think about how many people in 1926 could plunk down that much for something so unnecessary as a perfume bottle. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW just an FYI I had to pay just a few dollars more than $180.50. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" 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" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not kidding when I said I was speechless. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>When I looked at his other auctions I saw he had sold the bottle that went into the box for a price I would have gladly paid even without the box but somehow I missed the listing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
