Need some girly help!

[pasithea]

Or guy help, if you happen to know where I can find this:

I'm looking for one of those tiny glass vials that perfume samples come in. The ones that are about as big around as a pencil and about an inch or so long.

Anyone have one or know where I could find one?

I've got so I hate showing a working in progress before it's done but... It's for this:



It's a wild deer's leg bone case that will contain a crow quill pen, parchment, and a miniature inkwell (IE the vial)

I still have to do the scrimshaw and polishing on the case. Just finally got the nerve to do the cuts. I was hoping that the bottom end would be big enough inside I could use a tiny vial from the bead store but it's not big enough.

I suppose, worst case, I can get some more map gas and some glass tube and make my own ampule, but the last thing I need right now is another project. So if anyone has one or has any other simple ideas (I'd like to avoid plastic, would consider using brass or copper tube) I'd appreciate them.

This object is going to be made to be worn so whatever the solution is, it needs to be pretty resistant to leaking ink all over the wearer.

Arg... I'm CERTAIN at one point I've had one of those bottles you were talking about in one of my piles of junk (pencil diameter... a little over an inch long). I might still have it but it could take a while to find it -- if no-one else can find one for you I can start digging around for it.
