Parfums Rue Dee was located at East 30th Street, New York. They launched some fragrances starting in the early 1930s. I do not think that this company existed past WWII. their items are pretty rare.

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.
Vintage Apollo Studios Ormolu Vanity Accessories and Perfume Bottles 1934 Advertisement
Vintage Apollo Studios Ormolu Vanity Accessories and Perfume Bottles from a 1934 L & C Mayers Co publication. Items shown as filigree metal trays, candy dishes and perfume bottles. Two of the trays have lace sandwiched between glass. The candy dishes have glass inserts with three compartments and sometimes I see these listed as powder jars and jewel caskets. The perfume bottles were made by Heisey (Crystolite) and rest inside French style metal mountings. One of them has a handpainted miniature painting on ivory.
Similar Apollo pieces from the same time period:

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.
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.
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.
