A J. B. Williams promotional giveaway. Smallest Aqua Velva I ever saw. Contains unused cream but the bottle is empty. Put a quarter on top for size scale.
Very Cool Set!!! I have a couple of those sample bottles....

I'm curious what year this is from, anyone have any idea?
It was my late grandfathers, he passed in 1996 and this has been in storage with his 1956 Sunbeam Golden Glide Shavemaster.... cool mementos! His dopp kit still smells like him.

Not very old , or authentic...This is what is sold in California today , and doesn't have the spicy powder scent of the original Shulton.. The Canadian Old Spice is more of a "citrus" splash...
Well that's ok, I'm not really looking for "value" in it. It doesn't smell like citrus though, kind of spicy.
What decade? 80-90's? Best guess?

splashed on some vintage Palmolive aftershave today, still nice.
Sure...it's still a nice aftershave , just very different than the original Shulton...Indian Old Spice is a much closer formula....Your bottle is still in production today , so it may be as old as the 90's, it looks like glass , today's bottle is not glass , or at least what they have in Calif ( from Canada ) is not...If your bottle is glass try to save it, you can refill with Indian or Canadian O.S..
Thanks for the info!
It's definitely a glass bottle, and my grandfather passed away in 1996 so it was bought before then, but how soon before I'm really not sure. It's fairly full, so I'm guess not that much sooner than '96.
Picked up some nice scents today: a modern plastic bottle mostly full of Old Spice Smooth Blast aftershave (Canadian?), English Leather talc, travel bottles full of Old Spice talc (mid-70s) and aftershave(mid-60s), a tin of Old Spice talc (1954-1956), and another Avon Shaving Brush decanter full of Tai Winds cologne...
Nice Easy Rider!!!
Also, I wouldn't use any of that Talc. Old Spice and EL are a couple of the brands known to contain asbestos.

Thanks! I'm not into using talc anyway, but these kind of things will look nice once I get my barrister bookcase display setup.

"Look what I found"
From this weekends estate sale. Found way in the back of a closet. All three are full of the good stuff
Nice looking Telescope! I have a few of them, but none in that good of shape.
I found my 2nd telescope this past Saturday, on our way back from the beach. My first is still in the original box, to be opened only in case of emergency. This one is probably 1/2 to 2/3 full.
Nice Telescopes! I see those all the time at antique shops, just saw one today. But just like every other time it was empty.
