Sandchip is right, we should step up the rate of posts. So, here's a thread dealing with a category of antique bottles that doesn't get much attention from us manly diggers: perfume/cologne bottles. Show us yours.

Those are great, Harry although you were more than welcome to put it on my thread. That's what I started it for. I don't have any perfumes, but I always wanted one of the early colored pieces like the sunburst or seahorse types.

Okay, no perfume/cologne bottles in that collection. There must be other collections to tap for images. How 'bout it!

I would put some up here but all of my bottles are packed away in the attic. We sold our house we lived in for many years and moved to a bigger city. We are now momentarily renting so I don’t have access to my collection. Keep these posts going!

Okay, Bass, here's another:

C'mon, Bass, don't tease us like that! Find 'em and photograph 'em! Then, please tell us what the embossing on the bottles says -- I can't make out "cologne" in the existing image from Rusty.

 

[RustyRelics]

It's there, it just didn't photograph right.

Here's one I've had for a long time:

Harry, that label looks great.

Here is one I dug a couple weeks ago. Pretty cool monogram. Not sure if it’s all too common or what but I thought I best hold on to it. Regards. Jgas

Chicago, my home town. Who would guess someone made perfume there. From my youth, all I remember was the stockyards aroma when the wind was just right.

Here's one:

Beautiful bottle and label, Harry.

Found in a 1912 Railroad logging camp. Pretty sure the center bottle is a perfume or cologne...not sure about the other two.
