Vintage 1940s Fan Top Fancy Glass Perfume Bottles Catalog Pages

The items shown in the following advertisement pages from 1940 and 1941 N. Shure catalogs, are made up of molded glass simulating the high quality cut crystal bottles from Czechoslovakia and Austria. These were made in the USA to imitate the more expensive items that were unable to be imported due to WWII. Some of the companies making these bottles are Imperial,  Duncan Miller, Fenton, New Martinsville and the US Glass Company.





The "prescut" fan top bottles, the puff box and the glass tray below were made by Anchor Hocking.




The bottle on the bottom I believe was made by Duncan Miller or Gunderson-Pairpoint.





  The cornucopia bottle below was made by Imperial.

 The set below was probably made by either Fostoria, LE Smith or Heisey. Imperial glass bottles and puff box in stunning 22K gold plated, ornate Apollo fitted filigree holders. Apollo made this same set with Heisey Ridgeleigh pattern glass bottles and puff box, and other sets with Fostoria glass.
This marvelous French style set features ornate ormolu openwork filigree caddies, holding two antique Imperial Glass Company crystal perfume bottles with a matching puff box. In Imperial glass catalogues, this antique glass pattern is #699 Mt. Vernon. In some other old Imperial ads, it's also called Washington.

Welcome!

This is not your average perfume blog. In each post, I present perfumes or companies as encyclopedic entries with as much facts and photos as I can add for easy reading and researching without all the extraneous fluff or puffery.

Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here, it is only a source of reference. I consider it a repository of vital information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. Updates to posts are conducted whenever I find new information to add or to correct any errors.

One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table, did you like the bottle design), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

Also, if you have any information not seen here, please comment and share with all of us.
