perfume nips!!

So today i found this miniature perfume website, they sell miniature perfumes, vintage miniature perfume bottles and etc.. some of them look so pretty!! As i was looking through the products that they sell I saw something called perfume nips, and they look like this

tiny little pin like glass tubes containing perfume thats just enough for one application! They were manufactured between 1921-70s and were most popular during the 40s and 50s. They were sold in packs of 4s or 6s, and they cost around a dollar each. The perfume companies in the States imported perfume from France and repackaged them into these so that they were more affordable and easily carried around in purses. It is said that since the perfume is sealed in these glass tubes, they are as fresh as they were when they were packaged! Does that mean they are still usable now?? I dont know, but with all the histories behind them, i would love to give them a try!!  

here's the link!
