<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 10309646, member: 88"]It is inoperable at this time. If you look in the back you can see where someone severed the electric cord which is very common as the cords are usually in very poor condition. Below is a photo of the top & the base. A small lightbulb would be used to warm the perfume oil in the small tube that fits into the decorative top. The pull chain which still works on the side is how you turned it on & off. The lightbulb would warm the oil & the scent would waft out of the opening in the top. I tell everyone they were the 1920s version of a Glade plug-in air freshener -- just a whole lot prettier. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]517945[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
