Three Cosmetics bottles: 1. Small cobalt perfume with stopper with drapes embossed around. No base mark. 2. Icilma. No base mark. 3. Winjennia. No base mark. (Victoria) Household Perfume 1. Machine made. Cobalt. 1/4 oz 2. Applied top. Wide, narrow body with diagonal embossed ribs. Green. 1 oz. 3. Tapered square shape. Tool finished lip. Amber. 2 oz. 47 - 110 mm. 1900s-1940s

1. Near Mint. Some grime. Maybe a tiny scuff mark or two. Lovely looking bottle. 2. Very Good. Shiny, including inside the scratches and other marks which leads me to believe that it has been acid dipped. Remains of some pitted marks. Nice colour, unusual item which is not familiar to me in this style. 3. Excellent. Some grime which should clean out. A few minor scratches and marks. The Winjennia company were based in Melbourne and made medicinal soaps and ointments. They extracted Alum from the "Burning Mountain" (an underground burning coal seam) in the Wingen area of New South Wales. We have only seen a small straight sided square version of this bottle before, this is the first larger tapered version we have seen. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
