I have sevral decanters thatmy Dad had before he passed. Some as farback asthe sixties, and some still have the cologne in them. Like the corncob pipe fill with Avon leather. Still smells good and in good condition. Also the Paul Revere decanter with the Rifle in his hand that is removable. I have so many more.

Patricia Amity is/was a company that produced purses and wallets from at least the 1920s through the 1960s...and maybe later. It would not have been unusual for them to produce a special line for Avon, although I can't give you a date.

I am helping to relocate my mother in law, a prior rep (don't know what years). She has a "for Avon exclusively by Amity" (tag swewn inside) small (5-6")round zippered bag, gold sides and gold floral top/bottom. Have not been able to locate anything on this. Any ideas?

I have a milky greenish pitcher and basin. It is small and has a rose shaped stopper. I have this in my hutch, but it was in our house growing up and have had it for as long as I can remember. Any clue if it is worth anything?

Brenda- it held skin so soft..I am not sure of the date but they had several fish themed items in the early 1970s so I want to say that it was probably then. Here is one that I found. Hope this helps

My mother has an avon bottle that she keeps in her bathroom. It looks like it may have had bath oils or bubble bath in it. It has an angel fish on the bottle with a shell shapes stopper for the top. I'm trying to find out what it was called. She has had it for as long as I can remember

I am sorry Marilyn, we can't give values. For the most accurate appraisal take it to a local appraiser. You can also check eBay for the same item to get an idea of the value. Good luck!

Michelle, I can verify four plates in that series. They were released in 1974 through 1975 and done by artist Don Eckelberry. The four plates in the series were Cardinal, Bluebird, Oriole, and Yellow Breasted Chat. I don't believe that there were more than four in the series. I hope this helps.

Hi Joan. I could find no Avon Barbie under that name. Without a picture or description I can only guess that your Barbie may actually be the Bob Mackie Fantasy Goddess of Asia, circa 1998. The picture is found at: http://www.afact.com/barbie/barbie.html#anchor909633 That is for pictorial reference only. I do not guarantee the value or promote that site. Hope this helps!

You should try posting them on eBay. It is difficult to sell things here because we are not supposed to post personal information (like emails) so it would be difficult to connect with a potential buyer.

However, you could sell your collection as a whole or piece by piece on eBay and you would probably do pretty well.

Hello I have a box of early 70's-maybe early 90's avon collectibles. They were in my grandmother's attic. I have no where to keep them and I was just wondering if anyone was interested in buying them. I know I have some cape cod pieces and lots of other things.

Kelly,

I highly recommend you contact your local chapter of the National Association of Avon Collectors. They can easily put you in touch with people who have Avon items for sale. The Association does not currently have a website, so your best bet is to contact them through the mailing address in this article.

Of course, another option is Ebay. Or, you can also try placing wanted ads on sites like Craiglist to see if anyone in your local area has one to sell.

Good luck!

Have you tried eBay? Or, see if there is a local representative from the National Association of Avon Collectors. They might be able to connect you with someone who could help.
