Found this today at an estate sale. It is unopened. I’m guessing by the price, it’s from the early 80’s.

And before anyone asks me why I’m buying old smelly cologne from estate sales, I have actually done very well with old, unopened colognes and perfumes.

Looks like a bad Christmas gift from the 80's. As a kid, I always felt bad for my Dad when he would get crap like this for Christmas.

That K&B tag is for sure early 80's or even older.

I would rather see what it’s worth to a collector. I can’t imagine 40 year old cologne holding up well.

That’s like $40-50 today.

Would definitely wear that before the overpowering Brut. Polo, and Obsession that everyone was soaking themselves with in the 80s!


ETA: I always enjoy seeing what you've run across at these yard sales and estate sales. More posts, please!

That "cologne's" best purpose is rat repellent

Had a bottle of EL break in the back of my Supra while at Southeastern in the early 80’s, still smelled like it when I sold it in ‘91…

Of course I would and at that value, it's a steal.

That was a popular Christmas gift in the 70s along with British Sterling.
