So why not embark on a treasure hunt? Take a stroll through your home, consult with family members, or delve into the forgotten corners of your attic or basement. You might unearth hidden gems that are not only valuable but can also fatten your wallet!
Vintage Perfume Bottles
It appears that the exterior of vintage perfume bottles is what truly matters. By the 19th century, glass-blowers had crafted these bottles into works of art, and they are now worth considerable sums.
From here we can almost smell the wads of money. Antique perfume flasks from the 1900s were auctioned off for almost $4000 in August 2019. Century-Old bottles can fetch as much as 8500 dollars! Eric Silver, the expert evaluator of the Antique Roadshow, attests that perfume bottles are a hot commodity in real-life auctions and can generate quite a substantial profit.
