<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 2064848, member: 111&quot;]Johnny - I&#039;m truly sorry, but keep coming back to this piece, trying to fight what my gut is telling me...</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears to have proper Charles May 1890 silver hallmarks (CM, sideways anchor, q, lion passant), but they are a bit unclear, placed as they are in the design (which also looks &#039;wrong&#039;, more cast than worked), they should have remained fairly crisp since not subject to much wear, really, the metal just looks so thick and heavy in general.&nbsp; The &#039;gold&#039; is very bright, and it appears to show some small chips exposing a white metal base; and it should have a glass liner with, originally, a glass stopper, and every piece (which on a typically constructed piece like this, would be the body, lid, collar, and base), should bear at least partial marks - this piece looks to be only two pieces, with the base just completely wrong, and it reminds me of costume jewelry, even the ring isn&#039;t quite right - typically, chatelaine scent bottles have two rings to keep the bottle upright, though the occasional piece will have only one, usually, butnot always, under the hinge (personally, suspect those few were &#039;adapted&#039;).</p><p><br /></p><p>Believe your piece is a modern recast, started poking around to see what turned up, and suspect this is the origin of your item:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/156827739/vintage-1928-jewelry-co-gold-perfume?show_sold_out_detail=1&amp;ref=anchored_listing" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/156827739/vintage-1928-jewelry-co-gold-perfume?show_sold_out_detail=1&amp;ref=anchored_listing" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/156827739/vintage-1928-jewelry-co-gold-perfume?show_sold_out_detail=1&amp;ref=anchored_listing</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]249560[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]249561[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
