I collect Avon bottles, decanters, etc.

Just started a couple of years ago, but my mother-in-law has been collecting since the 80’s when she was a saleslady. She has hundreds of the bottles from waay back.

I used to find the bottles plentiful at flea markets and thrift shops throughout the area for less than a dollar most of the time, but now they are getting scarce, and the ones that are there are now going for $10 or more...........

There are thousands on eBay for next to nothing.

Check eBay: perfumes;commercial. They don’t sell even at $0.99. Also, most estate sales will include some.

I collect designer antique commercial perfume bottles from the 1900s-1950s. The problem w/Avon figurals is that there are just too many of them.
