Pumps for perfume bottles
« on: August 27, 2011, 06:57:51 PM »
More questions,
I've recently started unearthing perfume bottles as they are often decorative in their own right. Often the pump is missing or the silk is faded making the whole thing look a little shabby (shabby-chic is not my thing). Or perhaps a new colour would make all the difference.
Does anyone know anywhere online to buy the pumps? Or what their properly called so I can start searching? Whenever I search atomiser or atomizer I get the bottles not the rubber and silk thing I am looking for.
Thanks in advance, Scavo.

Perfume puffers/atomizers I think.  I don't know of a supplier, but an idea maybe to buy cheap bottles with good puffers and swap them over.

it may be the most cost effective too! If only they were that readily available!

you can also get odd parts on ebay I believe, however, they aren't always an accurate fit, probably best to go to a specialist repairer.

wow! looks like barbershop paraphernalia. I have an ebony atomizer with something very similar to the last one.

I currently own 3 perfume atomizer bottles and only 1 pump which is past it's best. I want to get them refurbished as a gift for my wife. The pump fits them all. Thankfully, as they are all the same thread I can send off the knackered one as a guide and get 3 replacements. :tof:
