Old Spice Cologne find

**gearchow** · 03-11-2010, 07:03 AM

I was poking around in a Salvation Army store yesterday and came across a boatload of colognes. I think everyone of them was Avon in weird collectable type bottles, but there was also a bottle of this stuff:

About 3/4 full and it smelled right. I paid $1.99 for it. According to www.cr8on.com, it's from the time frame of 1973 - 1980. Being the cologne, it pretty strong stuff. Probably be 1/2 a bottle left by the time of the estate sale. :)

Seems kind of odd to pick up a cologne from a thrift store, but there it is.

Sweet! About a year ago I found a full bottle of AS from the 1980's and it smelled great! 50 cents at a Flea Market. It was still in the original box as well.

Very nice! I was poking around an antique store a few days ago, the owner saw my interest in shaving stuff, and asked if I was interested on old A/S bottles, he brought our a Mennen bottle, shaped like a guy wearing an orange hard hat, it was full up to the chin-about 10 Oz. left in the 12 Oz. bottle.
I got it for $4.00
