Post by: bigwull on June 29, 2013, 06:24:25 PM: Avril and i were ar our monthly auction....we got there late,...so we did,nt get much,...but what little we did get,was ..not bad for the money....first up was this little perfume holder,it measures 1.1/2in x 1.1/12in x 1in it is porcelain,and has 2 x small bottles inside,0n the underside the mark is crossed swords with a crown...the stone beer bottle is from J.Hitchon..in ....Kidderminster,..the light fitting is modern but of good quality,the brass companion set is solid brass,...the 2 x Nikon SLR Camera,s are in full working order...not antique, but at £9 for both of them....i thought i,d take a chance...the cast iron doorstop,again not too old, but at £2...it,ll serve a purpose,

Post by: greenacres on June 30, 2013, 03:54:01 PM: I have found many boxes. Just can't find any with the little perfume bottles. The mark seems right.

The place is looking good!!!

As for the travel perfumes in the porcelain box (known as a casket in the older days and current can be called a chest). Have seen them over the years. COLLECTIBLE!!!

Here's a few examples:
