Americana Décor Series Part 1: Abe Lincoln Cologne Decanters

Welcome to the first part in what will be an ongoing exploration of the world of random patriotic items and knick knacks. Sure some people who think they have a more evolved sense of home décor would consider these items “tacky,” but we know better. These items are great, though they do need a special type of room to be displayed. We’ll begin this journey with an item from the closet of RetroPolitics.com.

I present to you…Our Abe Lincoln Cologne Decanters!
These gilded visages of Honest Abe found their way to Retro Politics via a thrift shop. The great part is they still had the cologne in them. There’s nothing that’ll make you feel more American in the morning than splashing on a little cologne from a statuette of one of America’s greatest presidents.

In case you’re wondering who would produce such an item, they originally came from the Avon company. If you simply must have one right now there’s good news, you can usually find them on eBay for a reasonable price. In fact, eBay appears to have a variety of styles when it comes to Lincoln decanters, so you should be sure to find one to fit your own sense of style.
