Empty Promise

Yup, There's A Message In This Bottle

An empty perfume bottle has sold at auction for $216,000. A New Jersey woman received the Lalique perfume from her husband in 1939. He'd bought it for $50 at Saks Fifth Avenue. The woman, who is now in her nineties, had held onto the empty bottle and the box it came in. A perfume bottle expert told The Times of Trenton newspaper that only 50 of the Lalique bottles were made, and he only knows of another one that is still in existence.
