Can anyone provide me with any information on this perfume bottle? I bought it at a Thrift store. It says DeVilbiss on the bottom. How old is it? Is it valuable?

I want to clarify that the images I have posted are from Google images, I don't have a very good camera and honestly am afraid to handle this bottle too much. I found photos, but have been unable to find any written info on this bottle. My bottle seems identical and I can't see any damage or cracks. Just didn't want to cause any confusion. Thanks!
It is a lovely old DeVilbiss perfume from the Imperial series, and it is pictured in my DeVilbiss book; the Imperial series were made in 3 colors, Jade, coral and Yellow. The imperial series is very popular; I think you have a great bottle; esp. if in good condition, with no chips/cracks/ point loss - and if your piece still has the long glass dauber. I am very jealous, LOL!!! Great find!
