Not sure how collectible these are. Grabbed each for a dollar. Any insights are appreciated.

Thank you!! It seems like the decanter would cost more than the liquid itself lol!

I had the yellow roadster and 20 or 30 others. My mom bought them. My experience is if offered $5, take it. Especially in well used condition sans the box. Avon touted these as collectibles. They weren’t lying: anything can be collected. The market never really supported them as good investments. There may have been a few that were worth more, IDK.

Thank you! I think I’m gonna keep the Buffalo nickel on my desk. I imagine that it will confuse some younger folks when I tell them aftershave was in that lol!
