RARE! J. Hoare Croesus Cologne – SOLD |
Not much to say about this piece that collectors don’t already know. It’s a pattern that make most collector’s mouths water – J. Hoare’s Croesus.
This is a particularly nice cologne in that it has straight sides and is cylindrical. Draping from diamonds of cane are swirling clear tusks-the patterns main draw. The base is covered in a rayed star and the entire piece is wonderfully wood polished. Beautiful, simple and early, this pattern always remains on the top of major collector’s lists.
The cologne measures 7 1/2″ tall and 3 1/2″ wide. It’s in near perfect condition with a tiny, tiny interior stain in the corner of the base. Most people would not notice the stain, but I’m mentioning it for accuracy’s sake.
