**NO RESERVE** Vintage miniature glass perfume bottle w/ornate silver overlay, glass dauber & silvertone funnel, marked/embossed "MADE IN FRANCE" on bottom of bottle AND stamped/etched inside funnel, COMPLETE in original BOX w/mailing cover & stamp from France. Black (or dark cobalt?) glass bottle & screw-on lid with turquoise bead on top of lid is encased in ornate silver overlay (unsure if silverplate or what type of silvertone metal...magnet does NOT hold); has original glass dauber inside (bottle is empty...NO perfume inside). Also comes with original silvertone metal funnel.
Small miniature bottle stands only 1-3/8" tall x 7/8" widest x 3/8"; underside flat bottom of bottle has embossed letters "MADE IN FRANCE" (again, bottle is empty). Silvertone funnel measures 1" high by 3/4" diameter around decorative textured rim. Box measures 3-1/4" x 2-1/4" x 1", and shows miminal shelf/storage wear, totally intact, including cardboard insert that holds bottle & funnel. Box is postmarked/stamped from France (no date, or if there is date, I can't make it out) with customs stamp for "small packet...15 cents...U.S. Customs passed free...", and also orig postage stamp, as seen in pix. Outer mailing box is printed on side (can't see in pic) "AROUND-THE-WORLD SHOPPERS CLUB, 52, Rue Galilee, Paris (8e) France", and printed on top of mailer box "FLACON PRICE 234 FRS May be opened for control" (maybe this can help determine date???)
Overall excellent uncleaned/unpolished original vintage pre-owned/used condition w/minimal normal dark "age tarnish" that may polish up to really shine, but will leave that for new owner...I have NOT used any type of polish or cleaner on silver. Pix should give better visual description; any color variation, distortion or other spots not mentioned are from scanner light reflective glare against silver. Exact age/date unknown; from elderly widow's estate auction in Southwest Missouri. Please view our other vintage items currently on eBay & COMBINE SHIPPING to save $$$!
