Very old eau de cologne flagon bottle?
« on: March 23, 2012, 06:52:35 PM »
Hello people.

I have been given this piece of glass from my friend.
I wonder whether someone could tell me a little bit about it. I spent some time trying to research this item and yet having no luck at all.
It measures 25cm height, 12,5 cm wide and about 5,5 cm deep.
It's label says (if I read it correctly) Dcalle (with a D letter mark) Eau De Cologne. That is all I know about this item. I have been told that it's about 100 years old but is it really? Obviously the person that gave it to me has no clue as well as me.
Any information or suggestion would be so much appreciated. Thank you all of you for your help!
Cheers!

Dr. Dralle was one of the big names in hair lotion - founded in Hamburg 1852 and sold to l'Oreal in 1991. I think your bottle is from the 1930s - I have something  very similar here with a Lalique stamp.
