Vintage DeVilbiss Perfume - Atomizer - Lovely
A lovely Devilbiss atomizer perfume bottle with it's original company sticker on the base.
This DeVilbiss dates c. 1930's & it's original sticker reads: "DeVilbiss Gold Plate 5350 83 Made In U.S.A. No F E Tax".
The bottle has gold plated metal forming an eye-catching design on most of the lower half of the bottle. The gold metal is finished with a textured finish.
The atomizer is still soft -- I doubt if it has had much use. It is not as dark as it appears in one of the photos. The gold on the cap is still very good -- There may be residue of the perfume it once held still on the cap.
This makes a wonderful display piece & addition to a collection of these lovely items. Thank you for stopping by The Treasure Chest. (Item ID:W-15) |

The knife - puukko - was purchase in 1970 from the Antiques Section of the famous Stockman's Department Store in Helsinki, Finland. They stated that the knife was made in 1930 in Lapland.
The puukko is 11 inches long with a 7 inches long primitive hand-forged blade inscribed with: VT. The blade has not been sharpened since it's manufacture but shows the effects of primitive tools used in it's forging & the manual sharpening as part of it's hand tooling.

The scabbard is 12 inches long & is constructed from reindeer antler for the lower blade cover section, while the upper section is of leather, hand-tooled with an original Finnish Kalevala & other traditional decorations.
An applied leather strap is imprinted with sawtooth symbols. On the back side of the leather sheath portion the maker's initials: VP tooled in the leather. The sheath has a twisted leather tong for attaching to your belt.
The antler section is decorated in a most unusual manner with hand carved hearts alternating with star bursts or flowers, The edges are beautifully hand-serrated. The antler is left in it's natural color on the outward & reverse sides. The hand carvings reveal the lighter inner portion of the the antler for a wonderful contrast.
The knife fits snugly into the scabbard & creates a formidable weapon of 13 1/2" long. It is the most unusual reindeer antler knife we have seen, & we were excited when we were able to add it to our collection of unique antique weapons. The knife is in mint original condition as it has been in storage since it was purchased in the 1970's &

Antique Frederick Carter Gold Aurene 10
This is a fabulous Frederick Carter gold aurene vase has graced my living room for over 40 years & I never tire of seeing & enjoying it. (ASK ABOUT OUR LAY-AWAY PLAN.)I saw one like it in the museum in New Brunswick several years ago & it really is a museum piece. The play of light on the gold changes throughout the day, & with the changing light, reflecting a rainbow of colors.
It measures 10" tall & about 9" across at it's widest point.. It is signed on the base "Aurene 2683"Frederick Carter registered the name Aurene in 1904 but it took several months to develop the gold aurene to perfection. This is a good example of "perfection".
If you've been looking for just the right piece of Frederick Carter glass to add to you collection, this one has to rank near the top for desirability. The vase is in mint condition, no chips or scratches, with only normal base wear to be expected at it's age. Don't forget, we offer a 3-month lay-away plan for items over $100.

Roland Correia Art Glass Vase - Signed - 1975
This is a particularly nice, early, "double gourd shape" art glass vase, signed "Roland R Correia" & "825.8.75".
Those who know glass artistry, are aware of how difficult it is to to the "feather" pull-ups that make of the design of this item.
I know the "75" is for the date it was created as I've owned it since that time & have had it on display in my extensive art & antique glass collection.
The finish is an iridescent, soft sea mist color, with old gold threaded loop pull-ups. The gold also continues inside the top portion of the vase.. This requires great skill to accomplish. It has it's original Correia paper logo as well as his signature & date it was crafted.
The vase measures 7" tall & is in a double gourd form. If you love sophisticated & beautiful art glass, this is the item for you. It is in mint condition with no chips, cracks or scratches.
A wonderful item for any collector of fine American artist-made glass. Thank you for shopping at The Treasure Chest.
