DeVilbiss Perfume Lights - Kenn & Margaret Whitmyer (2024)

Description: DeVilbiss Perfume Lights. B Kenn and Margaret Whitmyer. This book details the perfume lamps, sometimes called perfume burners, produced by the DeVilbiss Manufacturing Company from the early 1920's to 1931. The book is divided into chapters. The first section of the book details the various styles and shapes of hardware created by DeVilbiss to use with the shades they purchased and decorated. The remaining chapters are forwarded with a DeVilbiss catalog page featuring some of the new perfume lamps for the year. These newly introduced lamps, along with some of the best sellers from previous years, made up the offering for the year. The lamps are pictured from numerous angles to ensure positive identification. Since the DeVilbiss number or letter attributions are sometimes confusing, the lights have been given names. These names are usually de-scriptive and will be found in quotation marks Ads from newspapers, along with DeVilbiss promotional materials and catalogs help to confirm the years each perfume light was of-fered for sale. These ads also offer insights into sales policies and pricing.Known DeVilbiss hardware is pictured and described. For convenience, each style of hardware has been given a letter designation. There is a table at the end of the section providing the measurements of the base, perfume cup and lid for each style of hardware. Hardware identified as authentic is pictured for each light. In some instances, lamps may have been made for a number of years and might be pictured in ads or catalogs with different types of hardware. Published by The Glass Flakes Press, ISBN 979-8-9908601-4-8. This book is a part of a much larger project to place glass information not in archival storage boxes but in the hands of students, collectors, and dealers in glass. Only by sharing can we make the necessary leaps in learning, as we all bring some piece of the puzzle. The West Virginia Museum of American Glass (WVMAG), a non-profit organization, is committed to sharing glass information and from that conviction this Monograph Series was born. The WVMAG catalog reprints and monographs address glass topics that yet lack the wide interest to make publishing a book commercially successful or that we do not yet know enough to commit to the more permanent form of a book. They are endeavors in seed planting by providing information on topics that may not have been previously readily available that other researchers can draw upon in formulating their own work. If you are a member of WVMAG, you will be refunded $4.00 from the price of this book after payment.

Membership benefits include a subscription to our acclaimed quarterly magazine, All About Glass. About the West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. (WVMAG) The West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. is a non-profit museum with a mission to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses. WVMAG, Ltd. is located in Weston, West Virginia. The Museum includes representative samples of all glass products...from bottles to lightening rod balls, from telegraph insulators to glass used in automobiles, from pressed to blown tableware. We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. Our Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry. The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
