I had to post this on SMF. Over on B&B a member bought a bought a very old, unopened bottle of Ed Pinaud Hair Tonic:

It's a very cool old bottle to be sure. Unfortunately the buyer plans to dump this rare, unopened hair tonic and refill it with modern Clubman cologne:

To each his/her own, but it sure does seem a shame to simply pitch this tonic down the drain, not to mention that it makes for an expensive empty bottle.

Glass is so inexpensive. Two (fifty) Buck Chuck sells in a glass bottle. Mexican sodas sell in a glass bottle. Yet so many products are now sold in plastic. Yes, it's lighter, and cheaper, and it doesn't shatter into razor-sharp pieces, and it may be more environmentally friendly, and...

Anyway I wish products still came in bottles like this.

Yeah, I do too. I'm old enough to remember, as a kid, my hometown barber having Pinaud bottles shaped like that on the shelf. Now you're lucky if they have a plasitc shaker of Clubman Talc....sorry but we clearly have not 'advanced' as a civilization/culture in the past 50 years...bah!
