Perfume Bottles ($80,000)

The first-ever perfume maker was a woman named Tapputi, whose existence was recorded in a 1200 BCE Cuneiform tablet in Babylonian Mesopotamia. However, it was the Hungarians who ultimately introduced the first modern perfume, which was made out of scented oils that were blended in an alcohol solution, at the command of Queen Elizabeth of Hungary in 1370.

Perfume containers have evolved since the creation of the perfume, and vintage perfume bottles nowadays are sold at incredible prices. A rare early 20th century Rene Lalique perfume bottle went for a sum of $80,000—a good amount of investment money. On the other hand, an antique appraiser, Dr. Lori, listed a couple of tips for collecting vintage perfume bottles on her YouTube channel. A 1940s perfume bottle with an intricate design and an intact stopper may sell for $75.
