Operating for over 135 years, Avon was founded by David H. McConnell. He was a travelling book salesperson who offered beauty products as a gift. He found that customers were more interested in the free perfume samples than his books.
From a small New York City office, McConnell mixed his first fragrances and recruited a team of women to be sales representatives. It was a radical business model in 1886.
In 1966, Avon introduced a cologne that came in a boot-shaped bottle, which was the one of the earliest novelty decanters the company produced. In 1968, Avon found success again selling men\'s Sterling Six aftershave in a bottle shaped like classic roadster car, which is still a classic Avon collectible.
Because the figural perfume containers sold so well, Avon came up with more concepts. Besides early cars, Avon made bottles for perfume, aftershave, cologne, bath oils, and lotions in the shapes of race cars, trucks, boats, and ships, which came in a range of glass colors including blue, emerald green, topaz, yellow, and smoky gray. The mid-\'60s-\'80s are considered the heyday of Avon figurals.
