I remember most of those Avon product. My uncle owed a finishing business and did work for Avon, Revlon, etc. He got loads of samples from Avon and my aunt had them all on display in the bathroom.

Lots of Avon stuff, especially the perfume bottles are really collectable and can command some big money...

Lol, not mine. It's selling for $8.00 on ebay. My aunt gave me her empty cuz I thought it was pretty. I carried it around for years, but I think I finally threw it out.

Great collection, Holly. I'm enjoying this- even stuff that I never saw.

 

[hollydolly]

Pleased you're enjoying it RR...

I have to tell you of all Avon products I adored Topaz, it came in a little cream parfum pot.. but it was discontinued years ago.

This? It's no longer available on Ebay. I think Auntie had that too... I think the only Avon fragrance I ever LOVED was To A Wild Rose,

 

[hollydolly]

No it was in a little black pot, ...ooh and I've just remembered another one I liked ''Occur''

This is a random pic of someone selling an ancient old empty pot on Ebay...

No, you were right about the Topaze...my memory was playing me up, thinking that was also in the black pot...

Remember the department store charge-a-plates

and the pneumatic tube systems that used to rumble through the old department stores to the cashier's office.

I live a few doors away from an 'Avon Lady' .... she doesn't look like that ^^

No they don't now, but when I was a kid they did look like that picture, except they wore blue not red...

This was the most delicious chocolate in the world..but like all the best things they stopped making it..

 

[hollydolly]

OMG I'd totally forgotten about these.. when I think back I can hardly believe it was the 20th century with this contraption..

I have a very clear memory of those pneumatic tubes when my grandpa took me to a store to buy me a dress for my birthday -- I must have been about 5 or 6. I was amazed by those tubes and watched them zip around overhead. I even clearly remember the little dress -- it had little umbrellas on it and a sash that tied in back.

You know you've been around for quite a while if, like me, you look through these pages and find yourself thinking "Gee, you mean those aren't around any more?":why:
