Welcome!

Welcome to my unique perfume blog! Here, you'll find detailed, encyclopedic entries about perfumes and companies, complete with facts and photos for easy research. This site is not affiliated with any perfume companies; it's a reference source for collectors and enthusiasts who cherish classic fragrances. My goal is to highlight beloved, discontinued classics and show current brand owners the demand for their revival. Your input is invaluable! Please share why you liked a fragrance, describe its scent, the time period you wore it, any memorable occasions, or what it reminded you of. Did a relative wear it, or did you like the bottle design? Your stories might catch the attention of brand representatives. I regularly update posts with new information and corrections. Your contributions help keep my entries accurate and comprehensive. Please comment and share any additional information you have. Together, we can keep the legacy of classic perfumes alive!

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 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.
