18thC Silver Filigree Thimble Tape Measure Scent Bottle
This is quite a rare 18th century silver filigree thimble, tape measure, and perfume scent bottle. A wonderful piece, that has a long elegant screw on thimble concealing a cut glass scent bottle and stopper. The opposite end, or top, is a tape measure with a twist top to retract the tape. There is a small ring at the top to allow the piece to be hung on a chain or chatelaine. The filigree work is exceptional with amazing detail.

Condition: Fine. Stopper is stuck to the bottle as is common with old scent bottles. Tape is old, but likely replaced.

Size: height 2 inches to top of ring.
