Vintage Bath Products Appraisal

E.T. Bubble Bath (Avon Canada Inc.)

This item is an 'E.T. Bubble Bath' product, packaged in a cylindrical container, likely made of plastic or a similar lightweight material, with a pale blue or grayish-blue color. The label, which appears to be a large sticker adhering to the top surface of the cylindrical cap or a flat top portion, is circular and beige or light tan in color. Key features on the label include "BAIN-MOUSSE" (French for bubble bath) written in an arc at the top, followed by the iconic 'E.T.' logo with "TM" and "MD*", indicating trademarks. Below this, "BUBBLE BATH" is clearly printed, along with the volume "200 ml". Small text around the perimeter of the label indicates manufacturing and licensing details, including "AVON CANADA INC." and "MONTREAL," suggesting its origin. It also mentions "UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIOS INC." for copyright and licensing, linking it to the famous movie 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'. The container shows some visible wear, possibly minor scuffs or dust, consistent with age or storage, but no significant damage like cracks or major indentations are apparent from the image. The overall condition suggests it has been handled. Given its connection to the 1982 film 'E.T.', this item likely dates from the early 1980s, placing it within the pop culture memorabilia of that era. Its quality is typical of commercial personal care products, with the primary value now being its collectible status rather than its utilitarian function.
