Thank you Bellin68 - my old 1920's bldg is reflected in the first picture.
Happy Vday to you too - now that said - why am I on the computer when I should be out w/my sweetheart (he's working tonight). I really love junking, collecting, buying on ebay, comparing w/other nuts like me, bragging, researching....
I meant nuts in a good way.
I bet my bippy it is Czech Deco. I have a shaker in black with a red top that could be your perfume's twin in terms of color combination.
Thanks - I think it is too. The perfume co probably bought them from a Czech mfg. Do you have a picture of the shaker? Was it a powder bottle? Would love to see it.
