The avon bottle doesn't claim to be a chevy truck, but if you look at the lines, it's pretty obvious. The diecast truck I found at a gas station that sells "antiques" or more appropriately, junk, but I found a jewel.

One of my sisters used to collect Avon bottles and I used to look for them. As Liz said, I haven't seen one of these before. Checked eBay (search: avon camper bottle) and found one from the UK but could not find one anywhere else. Seems to be rare though not expensive. Good find.

I had the Avon one many years ago but have no idea what happened to it.I beleive I got it in the late 60's or early 70's.It was the same color as that and I have seen one other that was also green.The Johhny Lightning one I have without the door decal in 1;16 scale.I got mine at Wally World about three months ago.

I was thinking the same thing

hgs_notes · 10-17-2005, 04:04 PM

This is not the first one like this I've seen. Just the first avon bottle where I noticed the shape. Here is a pic of the bottom. I also picked up a new hot wheels one last week. Its the flamed yellow version of the usual. So now I have plain purple, a '69 graphic purple, flamed yellow and plain red of the stepside hot wheel. I've seen pictures of the flamed green one, but haven't been able to find it.
