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.





 Heavy Gold Plated Metal Bottles:



These two non-corrosive metal bottles are heavily gold plated and feature a simple frieze decoration along the top and a beaded square pedestal base. The dropper bottle stands 5.5" tall and the atomizer stands 7" tall.




This bottle is actually two parts: a colorless glass bottle that rests inside a metal holder. The metal holder is heavily gold plated and features hand hammered effect.

This large crystal bottle MAY be Bohemian in origin. It is described having a "Florentine Effect on Glass, Part Being Mat [sic] with Three Beautiful Engraved Amber Panels."This bottle had a long silk covered hose and bulb covered with netting. The bottle stood 6.75" tall. 





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.

Roolf et Cie

Societe Roolf et Cie of Choisy le Roi, France.

Granted French patent FR354606 n May 13, 1903 for an atomizer with a hermetic closure.

Granted French patent FR335026 on August 1, 1904 for a "Système de vaporisateur multiple".

Granted French patent FR354606 on October 9, 1905 for an atomizer with a hermetic seal.

Granted French patent FR361348 on June 15, 1906 for an improvement for an atomizer.

Granted French patent FR372061A on March 23, 1907 for an unusual atomizer.







In the letterheads, the company listed all the articles that they manufactured, including "vaporisateurs en tout genres", by 1940, this line was crossed out in the letterhead, which leads me to believe that they no longer produced these items.

Harrods Perfume Atomizers Ad 1913

Here is a great ad from a 1913 Harrods catalogue from London. There is a variety of atomizers here in bulbless pump style including piston pump and swans neck pumps. Only two atomizers are shown with bulbs. Note that Harrods only retailed these in their department store, they did not make them. Some of these may have been made by Kitzinger Freres.
