Avon 'Breaker 19' CB Microphone Decanter, c.1976

Story

In 1975, the song 'Convoy' hit number one on the charts, and suddenly every suburban dad in America wanted to be a long-haul trucker. This decanter captures the peak of the CB radio craze, a time when '10-4' and 'What's your handle?' became part of the national lexicon.

Maker / Origin

Avon began as the California Perfume Company in 1886, but by the 1970s, they had mastered the art of the 'novelty decanter.'

Condition & Value

The box shows typical edge wear and minor scuffing consistent with 40+ years of storage. The decanter appears well-preserved with the original bottom label intact. The presence of the original box is a significant value-add, as most were discarded immediately after opening. Condition is consistent with a well-kept collector's item.
