Thread: Barbers bottle

10Pups, I was actually watching that one & I missed it plus I'm glad I didn't snipe it since you got it. Great score! I did however get one similar, maybe made by the same company or close which had a BIN or best offer, so I made an offer I figured would be refused but about a day later, I got a message saying offer accepted!!! The long stem part unscrews the same exact way. I also got an amethyst bottle that was very cheap compared to others I've seen go for over $100, when I got the amethyst bottle for a very cheap BIN price so I looked at the others that are so expensive & came back to the one I got & hit BIN because they were identical. I think shipping was more than the bottle. It also have a sterling silver stopper in it.

I have never seen this type of bottle in any old catalogs, barber shop photos or in my barber bottle reference books. Could it be they are European or men's dresser bottles and not American barber bottles?

Looks like a hookah/shisha bottle...

Perhaps they are European barber bottles...............

Cool bottle Pups, i think these are called Campomar bottle after the company that makes these,from Spain,for perfume etc. The long stem one like yours would be for barbers hair tonic.

Martin, I just looked on the bottom of mine & there was a paper tag stuck to it. I peeled it off, cleaned the adhesive & it says "Karl Moran, Paris" on it so Pups bottle might be the same.

Nice bottles 10pups and engine46. Now you have started BAD (bottle acquisition disorder). Nice pick ups.

I know you guys are pretty handy with things But, if you ever have some silver soldering that needs to be done in part repair or full on bottle build, let me know as I do precision soldering and welding, will always answer questions if you just need a little advice.

Okay, you jogged my memory on the stopper thing. I have seen them before.
My bottle has a plate covering the bottom of it. will pop a pic in place of yours later.

I looked at a lot of bottles over the past few years and really can't tell if it's really a barbers bottle or not. Doesn't matter much to me, it is now :<0)

Buddy you could seriously start something here. I was already looking at pewter wire which seems cheap enough but the dang solder for it was like 30+ a roll. Yikes. I'm sure it would last long but for an experiment it is a little much of an outlay for me. Plus there is still the time and list of things I already have to do. Like make a stopper for mine now. Dang Engine46 :<0)
