This green, car-shaped bottle is actually a decanter. It’s easily discerable, thanks to the big red circle with a bold, black number eight inside. The Straight Eight decanter is an excellent depiction of early-style cars, so-named because the eight cylinders in their engine blocks were placed in a straight line along the crankcase. This engine design was extremely prevalent before World War I, but it had been completely phased out by the time World War II hit.

Avon’s 2-ounce bottle of Wild Country aftershave is shaped like the 1951 Studebaker. Car enthusiasts will recognize the Studebaker as a manufacture that shuttered its factories in the 1960s. This bottle is a good depiction of the 1951 model, which was a big, muscular-looking car with a lot of exterior chrome trim.

This bottle was also one home to 2 ounces of Wild Country aftershave. Collectors love this bottle for its excellent take on this vintage Ferrari. The bottle looks like it’d be just as fast as the car.
