Flower Maiden 1974. There are 2 test bottles for this decanter. If you are interested in the final product (top of the carton shown on the far left) it is good condition both the decanter and carton and is filled with Topaz. The clear test bottle in the middle has a label that says "1974 Flower Maiden s/b yellow skirt. Test Clear $30". This was put on by my dad to sell it. It also has an Avon Label on the bottom saying Topaz. The bottle on the far right has no labels.

Definitely a "thoroughbred" test bottle. This test bottle (on the left) of Sport Of Kings comes with the papers that were sent to the Pasadena Branch. The cover memo is to Mr. E. Erickson - Pasadena, From: R. F. Missal Subject: Sport of Kings - 6 oz. After Shave Dec PP#8783. I have a scanned copy of the letter if you are interested in seeing the context of the memo. Attached is a scan of the carbon copy of the Approval Request which has a lot of detail on the changes to the product. The 3rd scan (Approval Request) has final information before production. I will send that to you upon request. The cost is $3.00 plus postage. If you are interested in the finished decanter let me know. It is free to you and it is empty.
