Drowning deep in my sea of loathing...so I'm
Saw this on the shelf and knew I had to have it...knew it was a 46-48 Chrysler Town and Country, but WHAT is it?

It was empty but clearly held a fluid inside at one time. First I thought it might be an old flask, but the smell did not make me think it was alcohol, then I was showing my wife and she said she thought it might be cologne since she remembered giving an old green car to her Dad back when she was a kid.

So I started doing some digging. Found out that this was made by Avon, they made these vehicle cologne bottles from the 60's-80's and this one was listed as a 48 Chrysler Town and Country.

Found some for sale on-line and snagged a pic of the label since mine was missing....

And in my searching I found the car my wife gave her Dad...she remembered it was green and that the rear portion of the car opened to the cap.

Not particularly valuable but will make a nice piece of vintage garage art.
 
My Mom was an Avon lady way back when.

I had a couple of those cologne decanters when I was a kid.
I might still have one in a box somewhere. Somewhere...
