Nice! anything full of Windjammer is a win!
Kids gave me the Alaskan Moose (Wild Country 8oz).
Think about it: Avon was entrepreneurship for women in the 1970s. Small business ownership with little risk. And though few women probably got rich selling the stuff, I bet it helped more than a few financially. Pretty neat, really.

Great Fathers Day gift, hard to beat 8oz of WC. Congrats!

Makes sense. I'd bet that the golf cart was a popular gift for dads back in the day.
I remember having a spark plug full of Spicy as a kid in the 70's. That little bottle seemed to last a long time.
Happy to pick this up fairly cheaply on the bay. Being in New Orleans it's special to have the steamboat Natchez.
And when you come visit be sure to take the brunch cruise on the Natchez. It's well worth it.

Found a weather station decanter for $2. The one with the red liquid thermometer on it? Only 1/3 remaining, but it was Leather, so I snagged it.

I Waxed The Badger.
What I come away with after reading through much of this great thread is there just about wasn't anything Avon would not make as a container for their aftershave. Pretty cool.
True--
In the 70'-90's a lot of companies were doing the figural/collector bottles, Avon just did it bigger. I remember as a 12 year old (1970! dang, I'm old!) getting a Snoopy Wild Country for Christmas and feeling really mature. Old Spice, Skin Bracer, Aqua Velva, Amway, and many other companies made cool bottles.
By the way, they are still making this one
Mesmerize Sports Car Decanter Cologne
A friend of mine is the calliope player!
Small world!I I have the Side Wheeler too, but I think mine has Spicy in it.
Does the place still have it's Art of Shaving store?

On Canal just around thr corner from St Charles. Connected to Rubenstein's Men's Shop.
Hi all,
Lookie WATT I found today for one dollar!
Now, all I need to do is find some "Wild Country" Cologne to fill this bottle. "CURRENTLY" (sorry I couldn't "RESIST") have any "Wild Country" Cologne or Aftershave. Perhaps if I see a bottle on Ebay, I'll "CHARGE" it! Sorry, ok I'm done.

Wild Country is generally the easiest to find, Mr. Katz ...glad to see you getting energized from that one.

The stuff that was in that is 10x better than what is sold today. Good luck with your search!
Hi @Ad Astra, @FarmerTan,
Thanks guys. AA, I'm glad to hear "Wild Country" is easy to find. Heck, I might even have some here somewhere.
That being said, there was just a little bit of "juice" in this "Fuse" bottle and FarmerTan, you are correct! I was sort of taken back by how GOOD this fragrance smelled! Funny, I seem to have a bottle "theme" happening here.
I'm shocked, shocked.....
