The barber pole is very cool. Anyone have the Avon POTUS busts? I ran across them surfing the bay and thought they were pretty nifty. I saw Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and T.R. Sigh, more stuff to keep my eyes open for.

Very Cool !
I had a big Avon eagle topped decanter once but it got lost along the way.

I have most of them. I have Washington and Lincoln in both white and copper I believe.
Just FYI gents...
We have a couple of really great Avon threads. The ALPHA Team thread is a great place to discuss all things Avon, and the Vintage Avon Find is a great place to post pics of your acquisitions. Links to both are in my Signature.
Carry on!

No, didn't mean to halt the thread. Just showing you guys the other info that is out there if you want to see more.
Very Nice.
Thanks for the heads up! Now I've got something fun to read before bed
Since it was asked...
Only missing Thomas Jefferson in white.
Oh well done sir! Quite splendid!
Thanks. Eventually I'll get the rest of my collection photographed. I'll update them in the other Avon threads.

Here's my Avon story. Back in the late 60's to early 70's my mother would have Avon parties. She wasn't an Avon lady, she just had them over from time to time. Mom bought dad a model T AS car. He used up the AS so I asked him if I could have the car. I thought it was really cool. I put it on my shelf and there it remained for 3 or 4 years. I was about 4 or 5 when dad gave it to me. Not knowing anything at that age I wrapped up the car and gave it to my uncle for Christmas (hey, I didn't have any money). He was just a few years older than me and lived with us. He opened it up and said, "cool some cologne." He twisted the luggage cap and gave it a little shake but it was bone dry. Uncle said, "what the heck is this." "Who gave me that?" Um....
. We all laughed so hard mostly at the uncle...
. Fast forward to about 1998. Yep, it's Christmas and we are all sitting in the living room opening presents and talking. Mom hands me a gift and says this is from me. I opened it up and it was that danged Avon car. She kept it all those years. We all laughed so hard. Since then, the car is passed around but you never know when it's going to pop up. I think I know who has it...Dad:

What a great story. That belongs in the archives of the ALPHAs!
That's a great story! So fun to have a gag gift like that passed around the family for so long!
