Antique Green Glass Scent Bottle with Silver Case

This one is one of my favorites and if I can get the correct Sterling Silver case for it then it could be worth close to $1,000.00 bucks or more! It is from the mid 1800s and you would put smelling salts or perfume in it. The bottle is supposed to be held in an ornate sterling silver hinged case. I bought it without a case. I did at a later time find a sterling silver case that needed to be repaired but once it was delivered I realized that case was just a little too big for this bottle. The bottle should be snug and the lid hold the stopper in. Oh well it gives me something to search for. They are rare and hard to find and my luck I will come across one when I don't have the extra $$ ha ha. Anyway here is a pic of the bottle along side the case I picked up. The bottle is between the size of a quarter and half dollar. Enjoy!
