Vintage British Sterling Cologne “The Royal Highlander” Collectible Bottle and Cologne
This is a vintage bottle of British Sterling cologne from the 1970s still in the original box. There is till some cologne in the bottle - I would guess that it is about half full. When my parents gave me this to sell, I had thought it was a liquor bottle. When I finally opened it to take pictures I was overwhelmed by sense memories of my grandfather. The cologne still smells good after over 40 years in storage, although I do not know how it compares to the true scent of British Sterling. The ceramic bottle is modeled after a Scottish Royal Highlander in traditional kilt and hat and holding a sword. The hat comes off to reveal a metal stopper and rubber seal.
