    I've bought something from a garage sale that looks a lot like this...

    Would anyone be able to tell me a little more about the history of it?
    Id like to think It belonged to a musician that spent time chumming it up with Dylan in a musty hotel room.:)

    Yeah those are for storing cocaine. I snorted some from some chick in ISS earlier this year. She had it in a necklace just like that heh. :)

    Pretty. You should store monkey urine in it for good luck.

    Put whatever your heart desires. I only rode the white pony once. That was a sad day. Also got drunk twice lol. I myself would put some liquid that means something real special to you in there.

    I've never heard of cocaine being put in those...


    All I know is that before there were sewage systems and such, women had necklaces like that which held perfume. So as they walked down the streets with the open sewage lines and whatnot, they could sniff the bottle of perfume.
    Sometimes they also dabbed the perfume onto a handkerchief (however you spell that) and would hold that up to their noses.

    Yeah, I thought they were miniature perfume bottles too. I guess they'd work for other things too though :)

    i always heard they were for cocaine because some of them came with little spoons for snorting it from. Its called a snuff necklace so it must hold snuff....right???

    I'd never heard them called 'snuff necklace' before :p They're sold as & obviously are also called 'perfume necklaces' anywhere I've seen them... would think the spoon thingy would be to put it on with... I've seen perfume bottles (commercial ones, perfume for sure :)) that held some kind of dipper to put it on your wrists with, less wasteful than just pouring a little out I think.

    It might be used for some wrong purposes. Be aware for next time.
