Sprinkler Bottle Caps c1890s
In the late Victorian era, sprinkler caps (also known as shaker tops or crown tops when in the shape of crowns) were used on perfume, barber or powder bottles. Usually made up of pewter, lead, brass, these are often given a gilded or silvered finish. More expensive examples are made up of solid silver or gold.

Alfred Wright
William & Alfred Wright established their proprietary medicine company in 1869 in San Francisco. In 1899, Alfred Wright opened a perfumery located in Rochester, New York. He also had a branch in Philadelphia. Many of the bottles I have come across have the Philadelphia address on them. You will also find these embossed with the name Alfred Wright or with the initials AW.
