I have that problem at the consignment shop I sometimes shop at when they tape their cardboard price tags to the item. <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" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>These tear catcher bottles are also called “lachrymatory bottles" & were originally "throw-away" bottles that held perfume oils such as rose or lavender. They were made in France, Germany & Bohemia. They usually sell quite well so congrats on the buy.
