Re: Would you pay good money for these ?

I threw out a half full bottle of French perfume lately as l can’t wear them anymore.

I didn’t even think the bottle might be a collectible? To me chucking it meant there was less clutter in the house.

Then flog it on eBay.
You beat me to it Todgy!

I wouldn't dream of buying perfume off eBay .
I want it sealed in its original packing someone might have tampered with it just as you suggest !

Re: Would you pay good money for these ?

This is about would you buy an empty bottle Muddy ?
It's got to be famous of course.

I suppose some of the vintage designs will be valuable collectibles in time .
That Rochas bottle I posted a pic of earlier for instance .

I would not buy an empty bottle but someone who was interested in scent bottles would, people collect all sorts of things and scent bottles can be very beautiful.

No "Good Money" left for empty bottles, got seduced and tied up in the Old Rope market, just waiting for a revival.
