Another freebie from the same hoarder estate I cleaned out last winter is this rare perfume atomizer of an elephant. Stamped Germany and stands about 4.25" tall overall. The reason I say rare is because I already sold it a few months ago and it received multiple bids from a handful of bidders and closed at $113. I know nothing more than that, but will keep my eyes open for more in the future and I still have a little yellow puppy porcelain perfume bottle with only a tiny cork in the top with a hole in it, I imagine it had the atomizer spray bulb but is missing now, found in same little box in the estate.
This one is only marked "Germany" Phil, I did see hers and actually inspired me to post and "liked" it before posting this. She stated it was 1931, but I found a similar one on a specialty site that claims Smiata's to be early 1900's and standing 2.25" tall, and single color, the bottle should have a screw off top with atomizer fitting rather than crowntop
