<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 9489117, member: 10944&quot;]I buy regularly from an auction house that’s very highly regarded in a big time antique area. They regularly put stickers on highly sensitive areas of items. I get that items need inventory info and that they process them quickly but man it’s frustrating. I bought some nice glass perfume bottles with gold gilt recently. One had a nice scene of a man with trees and buildings around him. They put the sticker right on the man. I peeled it off and took most of his gilt outline with him. I was PO’d. One of many times unfortunately. </p><p><br /></p><p>Turned out that some of the perfume bottles/vials in the lot are more commonly known to be tear catchers. I wasn’t really familiar with those. Crazy Victorians. I’ve had hair receivers but not tear catchers until now. I guess it’s actually much older business going back to the Romans and under the umbrella of “Lachrymatory” but mine were Victorian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
