Today I found a Perfumer I guess. Metal Detecting at a old home that was going to be tore down. It looks like a locket with a broken mirror inside. I found it in 2 peices, top and bottom the hinge pin was missing. Copper I think about the size of a silver dollar and about 1/2 inch thick. It has fancy scrolling on top. and the words TORCH Stearns Perfumer Detroit-Paris. I couldn't find it on the web any body with any insight?? Is this thing worth anything other then the fact I found it.

I found this

Frederick Stearn & Co of Detroit,Michigan, also known as Stearns. The early 1900s Stearns perfume labels seem to have been prefixed by the folowing words "American Girl Perfumes". I have listed the perfume names I could find, but there may be more out there.Most of the Day Dreams perfume and related toiletries you can find on ebay look to date to the 1930s-1940s. It was a very popular line, probably the most popular lines were Sadira & Day Dreams. (copied from google)
