Vintage Avon find

After unpacking some old stuff around the house, I found some Avon "Wild Country" aftershave in bullet shaped containers. I found two of them. Still have aftershave in them.

It should be good . Try it on tomorrow.
Just found the thread, I havnt used any Avon in atleast 20+ yrs my SIL used to sell the stuff. I think I recall a few bottles in the back of a closet.
Might have to start searching the closets and under sink cabinets there was a few scents that I used to enjoy I believe one was Wild Country.

Wild County and Tai Winds are my favorites and you can still get Wild Country !
Found this avon aftershave "brush" for $3 (still has some in there). The OS mug was $5.
Score!
Curious as to what some of the better scents are.?? I see these all the time and have never given them a look or sniff, are there any particular scents fm that are "Tops"..?
Scent is always YMMV. You really just need to sniff them for yourself. My tops Avon scents are always changing. Some that I didn't like at first smell, I now love.
Some of the more common ones are:
Wild Country - a slightly sweeter Pinaud Clubman clone
Spicy - Old Spice clone (smells nearly identical to vintage Old Spice)
Deep Woods - Slightly green, woodsy type scent.
Leather - Smells like leather - so very manly
Oland - very similar to Pinaud Special Reserve
My Tops right now are: Sea Zone, Everest, Bravo, and Spicy.

I am not an Avon junky but I stumbled across this Avon Barber Shop Shave Brush "Wild Country Cologne" on the bay, full and new in box. Does anyone know what era this may be from?

Without looking it up, I believe that is from 75-76.
hey, I will take that! I will consider this find a late high school graduation (Class of 1975) present to myself! Is there any date code system to Avon products?
No date codes. I'll look it up for you for sure when I get home later today.
Wow! That's nice of you, thanks!
Well, I was half right. The Barber Shop Brush was only sold in 1976.
I like their "Wild Country" and found a full bottle, in the box. IT WAS A FERRARI 333 bottle!!!!!
Soooo... All things considered the aftershaves in these thing is still good, especially the sealed bottles???
All of the vintage Avon I have found is still good.
Well that didnt take long...
I blame all of you
They had a few Spicy ones but they were gold related and not my thing. Also had Bravo, Tasha?, Oland and Wildcountry
