These are clean, well kept Avon cologne bottles with the scent still in them. I got these when my great grandfather passed away. I think porcelain or glass not sure.
Great Grandfather
Dear Taury,
Thank you for the dimensions, which I have just added below; it does not change the valuation.
Unfortunately, the market for Avon cologne bottles is quite soft at the moment - most are not bringing more than $5, if that. The Benjamin Franklin bottle has more value than the truck one. The following recent auction sales have been considered when researching the fair market value of your bottles:

Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
Two vintage Avon white glass aftershave bottles, mid 20th century
Both retaining their manufacturer's labels.
One in the shape of a car, for Wild Country aftershave, 7 inches tall; 3 inches wide
The other in the shape of Benjamin Franklin, for Thai Winds aftershave; 6 1/2 inches tall, 3 1/2 inches wide.
PROVENANCE: inherited from grandfather
$20-30 (represents a fair market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary).
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you for using Mearto.
