Way OT...... can you help me identify this?

13 years ago

This is waaayyy off topic, but I know someone out there can solve this for me!

I am trying to remember the name of a vintage men's cologne....I think it was made in England?......the actual name or brand was four numbers.

I can picture the label, it looked almost Indian or Asian in design.

For the life of me, I cannot recall the cologne name.

Does anyone out there know what it might be??

Would it be 4711? The label looks as you described.

Detailed closeup pictures of specific trees might lead to further IDs. You might want to start separate threads for each tree to reduce the confusion level. You can also have the pictures show up right in your post by replacing http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg with the URL of the specific picture in the following html code placed in your post: img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg" width=600> For example, img src="http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae40/equinebeing/photo3.jpg" width=600> produces:

Ok... so I followed the link gg posted and this is what I found... I guess Monica isn't the only one to head to the woods with that yuck! "During the spring and summer of 2003 and early summer 2004, numerous sightings were reported. The slime mold is usually found growing in mulched areas near homes and office buildings, but can appear in forested areas as well."

I think most of us use photobucket. Just download your pics to it and then we can walk you through it if needed. Make sure you choose your download size as large (they just changed the format today) then you put a check mark in the box by each pic you want to put in a post then go to the bottom of the page and click the white box that says create HTML or IMG on the bottom right then it will take you to another page with a bunch of choices. Copy everything that looks like computer language in the first choice and paste it into your message on here and you can do several at a time. That will make a clickable link so it won't be hard for the dial up folks and you can click on the thumbnails to make them full size from your post.

Not only for men! My grandmother had a cherished bottle, drops from which were used sparingly on a linen handkerchief when she had a headache. It was special as it came from Cologne and was impossible to get during WW2
I use the single sachet wipes when travelling. Very refreshing!

KÃ¶lnisch Wasser, the original Eau de Cologne, was created in 1709, and the 4711 brand is 200 years old. Must be one of the oldest brand names in the world.

Isn't the 4711 the street number of the building where it was first made?
Very refreshing for sure!
