Oh No!! AASAD in Effect!!

[sandmountainslim]

After finding the Avon Station Wagon bottle partially full of Wild Country yesterday I went to ebay and bought a Noble Prince Avon decanter filled with Wild Country AS and this morning hit the thrifts/antiques in search of more.

At the Salvation Army I found a full decanter shaped like the Liberty Bell and filled with "Tribute" AS for 2 dollars and an internet search revealed it to be from 1971-72 and at an antique store I picked up a boxed NOS Avon Bishop Chess Piece bottle filled with " Blend 7" AS for 5 dollars I can't find anything to tell me when this was produced but from the looks of the box I am guessing late 70's or maybe early 80's.

Now I am trying to decide whether to get to work splashing them on after shaves or save them for special occasions...... Avon Aftershave Acquisition Disorder in full effect!

Embrace it. Just roll with it. It will pass and the next one will come along

Nice finds, Bill!

I own a few vintage Avon AS bottles. I don't use them, as some have lost the potency, and if I wanted I think SWMBO would chop me into tiny pieces. LOL. So, I guess you would say in this area I am a collector.

So what say about the full bottles, gentlemen?
Wear them or save them??
I used some of the partial bottle of Wild Country tonight and love the smell of it.
Should I save the doggie, bishop and liberty bell for posterity or use 'em up??
I thought of only using Liberty Bell on July 4th.

If it were me, I'd leave be. But that is just me.

Wear them! If you use them up, you can begin the quest again. If not, you've had the pleasure now and you'll have the memories later.

I say wear them.

You never know what tomorrow brings, a slip of the hand and a broken bottle, a day late and it goes "off", any number of unpredictable things in this unpredictable life.

Grab the brass ring now, don't wait for the next go round.

luvmysuper is wise.

...splash it on...

Did someone say Avon Wild Country?

God the stuff smells like a musty lounge built in the 70's...

The Black Suede doesn't smell too bad though, never have used it, its been sitting in my bathroom for years.

I like the Wild Country, and can't stand the Black Suede.
