If I saw a complete set and for the right price in good condition I would probably pick it up. I am sure they are out there. Currently I have a Knight with Island Lime. Green bottle with chrome top. I really have it just for the Island Lime inside!

Green bottles? I thought there was just the brown+chrome set? Pic please

Okay...you totally got me. I pulled it out and took a pic. Then looked on the bottom and it said "Pony Post Decanter." Looked it up and it is not part of the chess set. Sorry...false alarm...nothing to see here...move along!

 

[woodpusher]

Thanks for the pic! I was going to say "Wow, that must be a chess set for folks who have been drinking a lot. The long post allows them to fist-grip the piece when making a move!"

Lol. Don is easily confused. I have the full chess set and the board. I’ll have to dig it out sometime.

Hey! Who you calling Don?

I found another one on my BOLO list. Futura full of Excalibur.

That's a cool bottle I've never seen before

I like the Art Deco style. There was another one, but it was quite banged up.

I also found these:


I'll probably fill the Mennen bottle with Floid or Epsilon. The Helmet is full, but does not have a sticker and I'm thinking it may be Tai Winds, but I'm not sure. @Spider can you look in your book to see what was offered in this decanter?

I always like the Light Bulb for Skin Bracer but I'm partial to the Hands. Have 2 empty spares that may end up in the yard sale (haven't decided)

 

[Lbkindy]

I like the hands too. I'll keep an eye out for them. I have some things to put in the yard sale too. Perhaps we can come to terms. I prefer to trade though, as I don't do PayPal.

I've got a full light bulb. It's a great bottle, though it seems pretty fragile. I've only found a couple vintage aftershaves in the wild. Just picked this one up from Etsy for a very reasonable price:

Nice find. I like Tai Winds.

 

[Lbkindy]

I broke down and ordered on EBay.

Nice @Lbkindy

Thanks Dave. Now I start to look for the brush and the right opportunity to tell my wife that I spent more money on what she calls junk.

I've got a mostly empty brush you are welcome too if you want it. PM me your address

 

[Lbkindy]

Sounds great! I'll send you a yo yo if you include your address.

 

[Dave in KY]

fingernail shows level of Wild Country in it but can put whatever you want in it.

I'm fond of Spicy and Tal Winds. Thanks for the generosity.
