These groovy candles from Avon are undated, although the use of West Casa Blanca could suggest it’s either from or before 1970. Some of the glyphs (A, E, L, M) differ from the sample, though do note that it’s a bit condensed on the packaging. Venus Extended Light also appears below the candle’s name. Although I’m focused on the rare font’s appearance, check out the box design! There’s another version called the Turtle Candle, which is… quite literally how it sounds.
