Vintage Avon find
- Thread starter HoosierTrooper
- Start date
found these at a thrift store today, coleman lantern has wild country sticker on bottom, no sticker on the buffalo but smells the same as the coleman one. the one in the middle says old spice on the bottle, was this an avon bottle as well or put out by old spice?
Probably put out by Old Spice. The comparable Avon scent is just called Spice.
and yet another Avon Coleman, snagged an hour ago (along with five patent nostrum bottles), all for a Lincoln!

The middle one is a genuine Old Spice bottle, not Avon. Avon's Spicy is a very similar scent though.
I was wrong, that horse decanter is Avon, it's called the Short Pony Decanter. The cap threw me. That is not the original Avon cap.
i was lucky enough to find that "brush" and "razor" bottles. They look so awesome in my shave den.
Found a few bottles this weekend. Including a very rare "Captain's Choice" bottle filled with Vigorate aftershave. It is from 1964-65.
Also got a guitar with WC, and a bus full of Everest!

Yes, the cap broke off when I received it. It had Bravado AS...
There is an Avon scent called Bravo. But my research does not indicate that that scent came in that decanter. Are you sure?
Here is the Horsey
And here is the Sticker
I bought it from the UK, maybe they had some different scents there.
Very interesting. Thank you so much for posting this.
Found a bottle of Spicy Avon at the local thrift place for a buck. As a fan of Old Spice, I must say the Avon Spicy is comparable in scent to the OS. The Avon still does its' job after all these years, in fact I would buy a few more bottles of this if found, I am enjoying it alot. The box has a date of 1983 on it. I am going back today to look over some more Avon they had. I can't believe what you can find in these thrift stores, lots of interesting stuff.
Avon scents last a long time if stored well!
I picked this up yesterday. The Razor has "PURE WINNER" and was UN-opened in the box. The cowboy boot has "LEATHER" and is 95%. Found at different thrift stores but only paid $1.99 each.

Was reading this thread today and just wanted to say thanks for giving me another AD. I had no idea about the Avon AS until I read this entire thread. While at a junk store today, I found a completely full Liberty Bell bottle of Oland. Splashed some on tonight. I am really diggin the scent, especially since I only paid a $1.50 for the bottle. Again, just wanted to thanks for creating another AD for me. Just when I thought my ADs were calming down for me, this happens....
Luckily, this is an inexpensive AD to have!
While out on my lunch break I found the Captain's Lantern 1864 completely full of Oland for $3.
Found this bottle at a thrift store. Being a Truck Driver I couldn't resist. It's about 3/4 full of WILD COUNTRY aftershave.
Nice find, especially since it is related to your work.
