My vintage Avon collection so far.

... had his first - 15/8/20
Been at this for a little over a month. Fair to say this is some form of addiction 😁.

Prefer NOS Avon mint in box unused and full. Managed to pick up some great pieces so far including a few faves that fell in my lap. Vintage Avon is sooo good. Great post feel and my kind of scents. Pretty much everything here is nos full with just a handful empties.

Scents so far
Deep Woods
Tai Winds
Oland
Spicey
Leather
Island lime
Windjammer
Wild Country
Excalibur
Clint

Some real quirky stuff..the Mrs made me buy the Rhino. I love the jeep, 1976 Father's day trio set and the VW.

The hammer...well not so much lol

Never post pics but this deserved some.

My kind of stuff.

Spicy is like vintage shultons old spice etc Oland is a favorite and found it works perfectly with APR Racontuer soap.

Tai winds is a knock off of Hai Karate.. it's the wifes fav along with citrusy Windjammer.

The scents are all good. Each one has its good points. Summer and winter ranges.
 
I picked this one up recently. Not sure what for, it's empty and I don't collect them. I just thought it was cool and on impulse I decided I had to have it.

Good to here. They look pretty cool. You must have been hammering eBay.

Actually only a few bulk lots off Facebook market place and eBay. Postage is killer if you buy one at a time. More economical to buy in bulk lots if you can.

Thats pretty cool. Came in Spicy or Sure Winner fragrance. The other shaving items are also a brush, barbers pole and tap handle.

I don't know what I'll do with it, for now it's just in the cupboard. I've seen the others and if I got the barber pole it would probably be put on display and in SOTDs.

@Chad
Where did you pick those up from?
Click to expand...

A Port Maqurie Op Shop on eBay. Nice classic looking set and the boxes are cool too. My kid loves the Island Lime..
 
I am so impressed and it’s great to find another addict who appreciates the post skin feel and the scents. I don’t limit myself to mint condition - just try to grow the range and smell everything they did pre 1990. You’ve got some great stuff there.

I can recommend Tribute (60s) as one to pick up.
 
Great! Another Avon fan. The oak moss in Avon which has since been banned a secret to its face feel? Avon scents rock and I'm well stocked for a decade I'd say.

I've added a few since the top pic and yeah I love good condition boxes too.

In came more Excalibur, New World.. (Australia exclusive scent), more spicy and tai winds.

Tribute is hard to find cheap. What Tribute decanter is yours?

If you have spare Leather I'd be happy to trade some other scents for some.

I have bought a few Avon aftershaves and have been pleasantly surprised. I have really liked most of them.

I also bought two of the Shave razors (both full) .. one for myself and then one for my son because he liked mine so much. I really like the fragrance in them but didn't realise that they come in two different ones

Great collection. Keep on going is my only advice!!

Hi Gents, if you haven't already checked out this fella on eBay has a good Avon collection some NOS Full bottles
https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/m.html?_odkw=avon&_sop=3&_ssn=handheldfun2009&hash=item342bf51a77:g:mg0AAOSwNpNfCVIn&item=224075782775&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=avon&_sacat=0

Those are crazy prices and will sit for sale. Full NOS with box sure but even then it's top end. $5-10 for empty no box is my ceiling and market rate mostly. Stuff overs goes unsold and listed over and over again.

If I put an offer in on something sometimes a seller will quote another on sale for $50. But unsold indicates nothing of the 'real' value.
 
Thanks for putting in perspective @Chad you must really curse international postage costs. Some amazing Avon gear out of USA for less than $10 but $30-40 postage
 
Even worse the US forums and guys paying 25c -$1 at op shop/estate sales for full bottles.

Postage and mail restrictions sucks. I try to buy mine in lots to get the price down. Last lot was 6 full bottles delivered for $45. If it's a hard to find fragrance like Bravo/Clint etc here I'd pay overs. Wil country/deep woods/Tai winds should always be available cheap. Postage can cost more than the product 😁
