Title: Wrythen perfume bottle help please.
Post by: brucebanner on March 18, 2016, 08:04:26 PM

This one has a Victorian toothpaste top used as a stopper which dates from around 1870, it looks like they have been together for a long time, any thought's?, regards Chris.

I think it's a perfume bottle.

3 3/4 inches in length.

I took the contents out of this out and they do have a very sharp smell towards the base, so i think you might be right. It looks like old cotton wool or some kind of fibre.

That would be right I have one which still smells and it has been washed.
