Q A

own an Andy Capp bottle from Avon. I believe it is from the early 1970s. Can you tell me about it and how much it is worth? Michael Abbot, Ramsgate, Kent Mirror cartoon legend Andy was created by Reg Smythe in 1957. The first Andy Capp paperback appeared in 1958, published by the Daily Mirror, and two issues are usually released each year. Avon Cosmetics, meanwhile, was launched in 1959 and novel packaging separated it from the crowd. Collectors look for bottles which are complete and have original packaging. It doesn’t matter if the bottle is full or empty. One of the most sought-after is the Andy Capp powder bottle from the blue blazer range. It has sold for nudging £100 and hopefully yours is worth that too. you could put it up for sale online and see what the market decides it is worth.
