Still looking for any example of the perfume bottles
 by
Brüder Rachmann - Glas- und Metallwaren-Fabrik
a.k.a.
Rachmann Brothers - Glass and Metal Works
a.k.a.
Rachmann Fréres - Cristallerie et fabricants de métal

Haida, Bohemia & Berlin, Germany & Vienna Austria.

Here is their trademark which might appear on the metalwork or a label.

Despite describing themselves as a Glassworks and Metalworks there is no evidence that they did make glass. They also made metal fittings etc

I'd pass it over to you as soon as one should appear here, Frank  :)
Never heard of, never seen so far I'm afraid
Pamela
Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Here is one - pattern 'Mercur' this is the large size in the cheaper nickel finish. Price seems a bit on the extraordinary side! By a factor of ten in my opinion.

But it is good to see that they are easily recognised by the logo being used as the spray button.

Updating as later evidence is that they did indeed produce glass too. One brother was metal the other glass.
