Item History & Price
A Brief History of DeVilbiss
The DeVilbiss Corporation made a less than glamorous entry into the perfume bottle world when they started manufacturing spray nozzles for throat atomizers. In 1887, Dr. Allen DeVilbiss, an ear, nose & throat specialist, had developed an easier and more sanitary way to apply his medicated oil into his patient's throats, this was previously achieved by the use of cotton swabs. This invention proved to be such a success that the physician was able to p...atent the atomizer and retire from his profession and in 1890, he established the DeVilbiss Manufacturing Company of Toledo, Ohio. These ingenious nose & throat atomizers were dubbed “atomers” by the company and were often sold under the brand name Atlas. Many times, I have seen these mistakenly sold as perfume bottles.
DeVilbiss perfumes were of fine quality and had the DeVilbiss signature in gilt or silver lettering on the base. Sometimes, the signature on the base has worn away with cleaning, but if you hold the base at a certain angle under the light, a "ghost image" of the signature may still be visible. Some even had the company name embossed into the base. You will also find some bottles whose collars are stamped with the DeVilbiss name. The less expensive versions , were also the less expensive quality and were only marked with a paper label. Unfortunately, the paper labels usually fell off or were removed by their new owners throughout the years. Other bottles had hang tags, sometimes you can find these intact.
