[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 4502740, member: 88"]That is definitely older hardware c.pre-1920s. The bottles with the type of hardware were made separately from the bottle & were usually used on a multitude of different bottles. This is how DeVilbiss did their bottles. They actually only made the metal portions & bought bottles from just about everyone who made glass bottles over the years. They would apply some type of adhesive material to the neck, place the threaded metal collar over the neck of the bottle & then screw the coordinating atomizer hardware into the collar. DeVilbiss would also mix & match excess bottles with excess hardware to make bottles that were not shown in the catalogs. I have several, one of which is sitting in front of me right now, that I only recently realized was an example of this practice. I happened across a bottle on eBay that I was fairly certain was sold by DeVilbiss just this past week. I have a book that has reprints of old catalog pages that I keep track of the bottles already in my collection. I looked in the book to see if it was already here or not & saw it was noted that I purchased one back in 2012. I looked in every one of my cabinets multiple times but did not see it anywhere. I finally saw a bottle that looked similar in the back corner of one of the cabinets. When I located the print-out of the transaction & compared it to the catalog page I realized what was going on. The glass bottles were the same but the hardware was different but hard to distinguish due to the similarity in the shape. Also, I obviously did not read the description closely enough back in 2012 as I totally missed the fact that the one in the catalog had a tiny chain that connected the cap to the bottle which is definitely not on the bottle I have. :rolleyes::rolleyes::bag::p[/QUOTE]
