You're my hero!
Well done.
Finally found some vintage Avon that actually still had some aftershave in the bottles. Both are nearly full. Cost me $10 Aus per bottle. I was happy with that. Last week in Katoomba found plenty of empty Avon bottles that the dealer wanted triple for what I paid for almost full. They still smell pretty good.
Surfing the auction sites it’s amazing how some people want more for empty bottles than what I pay for full.
In the US at least it pays to be patient and wait for the deal. I’ve picked up quite a few bottles now from the always available Wild country to the harder to find bay rum and island lime . On average I’ve paid I think around $2.50 per Oz (shipped) (this includes the more expensive bay rum and island lime prices )
Given most artisan bottles are 4oz that means my Avon bottles have cost me on average $10 per 4 Oz and that includes shipping.
I think that’s really good value.

Now THAT is a score!
I was only able to get the book empty; did refill it with Bootleggers BR, so no loss.
Have the Tribute book, full.
The book bottles hold a lot, and take up little room on the shelf. A good call!

Yes, patience pays. I got three full "cars" once, cologne, for $20 including shipping. Which for the poor person left like no profit, but they DID go to a good home.

At 6 ounces a piece you can get alot of scents in a little space. I top them off when they get low, and if my last refill bottle is empty I have the entire book bottle's worth to find some more.
Love it!!
The Oland I have is labeled "cologne." I don't find it very potent at all.
This looks good. I commend you. Now if I show this to the missus, she will ask me why I can't be organized and neat. Maybe I better not, will save me hearing a pointed stabbing remark.
lol
The Mrs. is why I set these up this way. Lots of liquid storage, easy to access, not too obtrusive on the bathroom shelf (the guest bathroom that is - I didn't want to push my luck!)
My girlfriend's mom found this yellow car with Oland Cologne. I transferred it to the empty bottle I picked up at another antique store. I still haven't done a serious side-by-side but there isn't a whole lot of difference. The cologne is just more "amped up" I guess.
Had to get out of the house today so me and the wife hit a few local antique stores and hit the jackpot again just couldn’t say no

Score indeed! +1 on the lime, one time I saw a car whose box said Wild Country ... I looked anyways. Island Lime and sold!

Great grab! Looks like alot of Oland in that bundle.
I really like that Oland bottle with the wooden cap, Mason. That - and the Tai Winds Tiki bottle - are the only two vintage Avon decanters I'm still looking for.
