Vintage 1977 Avon Metal Talc Tin β California Perfume Co. Trailing Arbutus Floral Keepsake
Vintage 1977 Avon Metal Talc Tin β California Perfume Co. Trailing Arbutus Floral Keepsake
A wonderfully ornate piece of 1970s vanity packaging, this Avon perfumed talc tin was released in 1977 as an anniversary keepsake honoring the historic California Perfume Company. The pale blue metal container is covered in pink florals, sweeping turquoise and burgundy Art Nouveau-style linework, and period typography. The fragrance is Trailing Arbutus, one of the California Perfume Company's historic scents. Comparable examples identify this as Avon's 91st Anniversary Keepsake.
Condition
Good vintage condition with age-related surface wear, small scratches, scuffs, and areas of finish loss visible throughout. Floral graphics remain bright and highly decorative. Most of the talc powder has been used. Please review photos closely for condition.
