Here is a warning for those who buy on ebay, a seller (sunil_arts_engg_works) located in India is making fake chatelaine scent bottles. They are taking newer bottles and adding new brass hardware and calling them antique or Victorian. Most of the bottles are 1930s and newer. Many are Art Deco in style which look stupid with fake Victorian hardware. Please be aware that these are not genuine antique Victorian era perfume bottles. See some examples below. Many of their perfume bottles exhibit the same exact hardware.
They do have some authentic antique Victorian perfume bottles and scent bottles for sale amongst their "fantasy" pieces.
