Item - Antique Glass Holy Water Bottle

Description - I thought this was a Victorian perfume bottle at first, but now believe this to be a holy water bottle. The bottle is 6" long, and the faceted top is hinged. When it is open, you can see w the small glass stopper (included) fits in.

T are a few ultra-tiny nicks along the bottom edge of the hinged top and t is one nick on the stopper. T is some slight water staining on the inside - I didn't have anything small enough to reach in t to try to clean it out. The metal hinge is in excellent condition, as is the exterior of the glass.

The glass does flouresce green under a blacklight. I'd guess that this dates back to the late 1800s or early 1900s, but that's only a guess. Nice piece of collectible glass or religious item.

I try my best to describe items thoroughly, carefully and correctly, but I am neither an expert nor a collector. In no way would I ever knowingly misrepresent any auction item .

Also, unless otherwise stated, I have not verified correct operational functionality of mechanical items. Tfore I must sell those types of items "as is." I ship strictly via USPS Priority Mail unless it is an oversized, or very heavy article. The reasons for this are: 1 - It gets to you faster, 2 - Less time in transit = less time USPS has to try to break it, 3 - USPS provides boxes, so unless it is a large item, I don't have to charge any packaging fees. This has been a personal policy and it has worked out quite well for folks. International Bidders - I will ship internationally, but only if the bidder contacts me BEFORE placing a bid, since shipping charges can vary greatly to outside the US.
