The Avon Collection and Information Thread

Made it to a different antique mall today. This was the only Avon bottle I saw. One of the workers said they had a few more a couple days ago till someone snatched them. This is full of clint.
Also if anyone has an extra front for this guy let me know '53 Skylark

Gentlemen's Regiment - Wild Country - full
On Tap - Wild Country - mostly full
Tower with thermometer - Wild Country - 1/3 full
Pipe - Tai Winds - full
Army Jeep - Spicy - full
Chieftain - Spicy - empty (the only empty one I bought)
Super Charge (battery) - Everest - mostly full

I'm keen on the Tai Winds.

I had hopes of finding one of the razors and brushes, but no luck. There was a Bucking Bronc with Olan, but the screw top was messed up so I left it. I don't know if I'll keep all these, but I find them quite interesting.
 
While I am generally looking to find the aftershaves, I have a few decanters that are on my BOLO list that I will buy empty. One of them is the pictured below. I have seen it called The Spartan, The Hoplite, and The Horsemen. I have seen a number of variations online including clear glass, clouded glass, blue glass with silver... This one originally contained Tribute. Perhaps @Spider can weigh in on the variations of name, glass configuration, and AS scent options. It was $3.00 at the Goodwill.

For some strange reason, I've always liked the chess pieces... but as a mix'n'match so everything is just the brown glass and not the cheezy "chrome."
 
I'm undecided about the chess pieces. I don't have any on my BOLO list, but that might change if I saw one or two in person.
