[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 13159772, member: 88"]This is another one of my unusual DeVilbiss finds I have collected along the way. This one was also presented at the 2026 IPBA Chicago convention for the "Treasures Found" presentation. The experts decided this was likely a R-8 "Kingfisher" perfumizer bottle that may have gotten damaged, so a worker decided to smooth down the top edge to turn it into a vase. They said it may have been presented to management for possible inclusion into the line, but there is no indication it was ever put into production. It has extensive markings on the bottom as I have shown in the photos. In case you can't make some of it out - "Sample" "g10" gold cursive "DeVilbiss" mark, "27", & an "F". It measures 7 3/8" to the top. I do have the powder jar with the same design, but am still searching for the atomizer bottle. :happy: [ATTACH=full]560409[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]560410[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]560411[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]560412[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
