    Weighs about 2 pounds, heavy. Left the dirt so you can see the pattern better and feeling lazy today! About 5" tall and 4 inches wide and the top threaded part is about 1/2". . Ideas of age? Would the design be called a zipper with rays? I bet one of you guys will know right off what this is.

    It could be a commercial perfume bottle but I am not very good at recognizing them. :rolleyes: :bag:

    Maybe @TallCakes has some ideas. :happy::happy:

    I'd guess same on perfume bottle. the circles, rays and beads are very reminiscent of USG's Manhattan and Bartlet-Collins St Genivieve but those don't have concentric circles. Seems a bit heavy for the size tho'.

    It is so heavy, am wondering if it had a more industrial use.
