<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 1972759, member: 88"]I bought a small lot of perfume bottles last week & I am forever getting strange things included in lots that are not even close to having anything to do with perfume. </p><p><br /></p><p>This time I got something that I have no idea about & another that I am fairly certain about. I did not photograph the second one, but it is basically a 2 3/8" long & 3/8" across stainless steel tube with a screw on cap. Attached to the inside of the cap is the type of thing you see inside a snuff bottle. I would bet my bottom dollar it was used as a cocaine transport back a few years. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The other item is shown below. It reminds me of some type of lab equipment but for what?? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>On the bottom is a $, a 24 over a 12 with a line in between & a K.
