1964 Duty Free Perfume List

This particular 1964 price list was from a brochure for Poole’s Ltd. The World’s Largest Duty-Free Service. The home office given is East Orange, New Jersey. It is a tax / duty free form for tourists visiting Canada. Prices on the brochure are for very high end Perfume Brands. I think it is important to know original retail prices for perfume sizes.
