Comments/description: This piece appears to be a composite of two different items set into a possibly handmade, somewhat crude, wood base. There is no manufacturer on the base, the sign and label appear to be from different periods. Note that the sign states CONTENTS 12 FLUID OUNCES while bottle is only 7 ounces. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Each piece is in excellent condition. The base appears to be flocked or has a textured component added on top of the paint. Difficult to tell if it is yellowed or if cream/tan was the original intended color.
