Metal Perfume Atomizers in 1928 Catalog Advertisement

These bottles were shown in a 1928 Oskamp Notling catalog.

The manufacturers are not mentioned but the metal bottles MAY be by Quaker Silver Co. who made similar metal atomizers that I already covered in a previous post on this blog.



Quaker Silver Company

The Quaker Silver Company had an elegant gold plated/silver-plated stemmed atomizer that has its embossed areas picked out in black enamel. This bottle can be found with it’s design patent number of 75919 on the base which corresponds to the date of 1928 and was filed by James W. Jennings, the assignor to the Quaker Silver Company. This item was originally designed for a salt & pepper shaker and similar article as noted on the design patent drawing. The bottle can also be found with the markings “Juanita Atomizer” and “736 Reg.“. The atomizer hardware looks to be made by Pyramid. An example of this perfume atomizer is shown in the Monsen & Baer Perfume Bottle Auction Catalog of 2002.

Non-Atomizers:


These are not atomizers, but actually dropper style bottles with glass daubers. I have including info on them anyway since they are illustrated on the catalog page and may be of interest to collectors. These type of bottles were usually made by companies such as Heisey, Westmoreland, Tiffin, US Glass and others during the 1920s and 1930s. These often came in various colors ranging from clear, green pink, blue, amber or amethyst.
