com reports, “Over 120 years old, Avon the company was founded in 1886 in New York City as the
California Perfume Company. It didn't
take long for "CPC" to reach 10,000 representatives in 1906. That
same year, 1906, was when the first color brochure was distributed. In 1928 the
company boasted 25,000 representatives and introduced the first products under
the name of Avon. In 1937 the company's name officially changed to Avon Products, Inc.
The first novelty containers were introduced in the 1960s and the first glass
car decanter was sold in 1968. Avon jewelry
was introduced in 1971.” And so today, we have a plethora of fun collectible
treasures!
From this fascinating past, we offer the Avon collector’s 1966 Short Pony Post decanter. Measures 5 ¾ inches high
x 3 ¼ inches across. No label or contents. Otherwise, good condition with no
