    Anytime. You’re always invited!

    Speaking of tours, the ones I posted 3 or 4 years ago are getting a bit dated. On the other hand, I’m not sure that things have really changed all that much. Must think on this.

    That's lovely!
    Is it what's called Plique a Jour?
    I'm obviously unfamiliar with the work...an' the spelling.

    Mine comes in 4 parts, but they are all related.

    I bought this "Ingrid" Czech bottle (the stopper is glass not ivory) as part of a large lot of perfume bottles.

    A friend wanted this bottle.

    So she sent me this DeVilbiss c.1928 "Swinger" atomizer along with a very nice check. :smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin:
