Perfume Bottle ~ 1890’s Crown & Cork Stopper ~ Gilded Ink Label

Cork & Metal Crown Top 1898 Perfume Bottle Lenzo ~ Eyeglass Lens Wash This magnificent little bottle stands 3 ¾ inches tall, 2 inches wide at the base. It is thick glass, shaped kind of like the Eiffel tower. The labels are completely intact! The top is cast metal with a cork underside. It looks like an ornate crown with highly detailed features in the metal. I call it a perfume bottle, because that's what it was designed for. It was used by a Jeweler ~ Optician to hold an eyeglass cleaning solution. The label says it all. This fancy bottle has seamed sides and a ground neck top. The underside of bottom has cast into the glass, "LENZ O 2". The cork is dry, but intact. The cork crown metal lid is ornately designed with extravagant minute details. This bottle is in Perfect Condition . It has both a front label and a neck label. The label says, "For Eye Glasses ~ Lenzo ~ Apply a few drops on lenses then polish. Prepared for ~ WM. G. SCHEEFER ~ Jeweler – Optician ~ Successor to M. M. Munn & Co. Saranac Lake N.Y.". Then at the bottom of the label it says By the Lenzo Co. Phila. The neck label just says LENZO. The label's background is a gilded surface. It is flooded evenly with actual gold gilded ink, giving it that sparkling, elegant glitter. Gilded ink is formulated using genuine Gold Flake and Gold Dust, a prominent technique for marketing upscale products from that era with radiance. Gilded printing has rarely been done since the 1930's. It radiates elegance. Molded into the glass at the bottom of the bottle it says, “Lenz-O” 2. We found a half box of them still in the “Egg Crate Carton” that is used for delicate objects so they won’t bump each other. Perfect condition. $17.85 Illinois residents pay sales tax.
