    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    Hi again! I don't really know how to describe this....I know it's a little perfume 'bottle', it was DH's mothers....he just pulled it out of his desk and tossed it in my lap 'cuz it was taking up space in HIS desk.....if it had a little chain or anything, I never saw it! Really just need to know, are these collectible in this condition and what does one call it???? It's not broken, but corroded around the base of the 'brass' (?) top ......I also can't read the name on the top of the brass where the dauber (?) goes in....THANK YOU MY GENIUSES, as always for your expertise!!!!!:happy::happy::happy::happy: Oh, it's a whisker under 2" in length....without the dauber in......forgot when taking pics!!

    German. D.R.G.M. = Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster. in use between 1891 and 1945. number registers partly stolen by the US, partly destroyed; some given back by the US, probably not interesting enough militarywise.
    could have been used for belladonna if the lady was keen on improving her beauty by bigger pupil.

    Commonly called a laydown perfume. Would have been to use at the vanity since the stopper has no way of being totally secure.
