Mandel Brothers, a now defunct "fancy" department store in Chicago imported and blended scents. I have seen some beautiful and usually large bottles from Mandel Brothers advertised on-line usually for hundreds of dollars
This is a Bottle bottle of this now long vanished perfume, in its original presentation box. I am fascinated by these perfumes, and sense them to be of the highest quality.
A Little History
The Mandel Brothers Launched a Department Store Dynasty
which became
one of Chicago's leading department stores founded in 1855 by Bavarian immigrants Solomon Mandel and his uncle Simon Klein. Their first store was located on Clark Street. In 1865, after Solomon's brothers, Leon and Emanuel, joined the firm, and its name became Mandel Bros.
Purchasing in New York and Paris and selling in Chicago, the enterprise grew. By the 1880s, its new store on the corner of State and Madison Streets employed about 800 people. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the workforce had grown to over 3,000 people. Rebuilt in 1912 and renovated in 1948, the State Street store continued to operate into the 1970s, when the company folded amid State Street's demise as a major retail center.
As with many prominent department stores in the 1920's and 30's, Mandel's had perfumes made in France bearing their own name and logo.
I can find no notes on the Internet with information about the structure or history of this perfume.
