My Inheritance

My grandfather's old cologne bottles. Most of these I had never seen before, but the one I remember the most, and the one I really wanted to have, is the pheasant. I'm glad he still had it.

whats up with that. my step-grandpa had a bunch of cologne bottles in awesome shapes. is that something they decided to stop doing as an industry?

The powder horn is my favorite.

I remember my grampa having one in the shape of a motorcycle.

pete, the customer base is aging. i never wear cologne and i don't know anybody my age or younger who does.

there's a couple of mustangs and thunderbirds in there.

i don't think he liked the cologne in the duck. it's full, and it smells like ammonia.

Rob said...

Thunderbirds... cool.
