    I gotta stay off of the internet - lol - won these off the GW internet shopping site. They were just listed as "lavender" perfume bottles but I had a sneaking suspicion they might be alexandrite - and turns out all 3 of them are! Woop.

    Anyhow - trying to perhaps pin down the age/maker on each of them. Two of them came with long clear glass stoppers that I doubt to be original to them, but fit the openings fairly properly. The third did not come with a stopper.

    I'll post pictures of each in the comments. Number 1 is the smallest - about 2 inches tall/wide. Weighs exactly 2 1/2 ounces. This one has a slightly different color than the other two(although definitely alexandrite) and obviously is a different style. Thanks you again!!

    Bottle 2 - about 3 inches tall - substantially heavier than the first - thicker glass - and cut (maybe molded) at angles and polished. Triangular base. The outer rim of the mouth is hexagonal. Weighs 6.6 ounces.

    Bottle 3 - heavier and bigger than number 2. About 3 1/2 inches tall and 4 inches wide at the widest point. Square base - but angled/polished sides like number 2. Unlike number 2 - this one has a round mouth rim. Weighs 10 1/2 ounces.

    The Ill Will generally tries to overcharge for anything nice they get, but once in a while they mess up. Love it when that happens!
