In 1965 Avon began promoting the sale of figural bottles (i.e. bottles made after the form of some type of object), these being produced in a very wide variety of shapes. One of the first types was made in the shape of a boot.
Most of the figurals can be generally grouped as having been made to contain either women’s perfume, or men’s cologne or aftershave. These bottles are often termed, and were sold by Avon as “decanters”. Some of the bottles held other cosmetic products including bath oils, lotions, etc. Some of the more popular shapes include figures of people, many types of animals including ducks, eagles, a buffalo, moose, hippo, etc; cars, books, clocks, shoes, guns, cannons, horns, telephones, a hammer, bells, a steamboat, keys, steins, pipes, a tennis racket, an Indian chief, and many other designs.
Here is a nice retro gift for your favorite fire fighter or collector of fire fighting memorabilia.
