The purpose of the International Perfume Bottle Association is
to provide information about all aspects of perfume and
scent bottles including their uses, history, and manufacture;
to promote collecting of perfume and scent bottles; and
to promote fellowship among its members.
The annual membership dues
of the IPBA are $45 per year. Membership includes:
- A quarterly full color newsletter (very
professionally done) full of wonderfully informative
articles about this hobby from the experts in the
field.
- A directory with names, addresses,
and phone numbers (of those who wish to give them)
of all members and what they collect. A very valuable
resource.
- Members of the IPBA hold an annual
convention which includes a perfume bottle auction
by Monsen & Baer, many question and answer discussions
led by an expert in different categories, plus a swap
meet where you may find your own personal treasures.
If you are interested in joining
the IPBA, please send an e-mail message to email@oldemade.com and I will
send you a membership application form.
Or you may print the form by clicking

convention, visit the IPBA home page.
