    Skin Bracer had several Novelty bottles they produced in the early to mid-70's.

    By my count, there were at least 10 Skin Bracer novelty bottles (Light Bulb, Construction Worker, Globe, Gold Club, Polar Bear, Fire Hydrant, Bowling Pin, the thinker, a hand, and a pistol). Avon of course had a couple of hundred.

    I remembering purchasing a fire hydrant bottle for my brother one year for his birthday. I was like 8, so I thought it was very cool. I'm not sure if he ever used it.

    Love it! I have the "Cold Slap in the Face" hand-shaped bottle. It's by far my favorite.

    Have an empty Old Spice Lighthouse bottle. May have to put Brut in it just to bait excommunication.
