Status: offline 		Now is this goodnight Irene easy to say its a repo or should I send the seller a lengthy email with all the questions about missing periods after the word whiskey and the  2 periods under t in street  ect.( I do have the  Mckearins American bottles and flask book) but some of  there info contradicts pictures of a supposed original http://www.antiquebottles.com/repro/BoozOrig.jpg
Other experts opionons I have been looking at on the following web sites: http://www.antiquebottles.com/repro/  http://www.bottlebooks.com/booze.htm  Most of this guys info is good but the following.He states this:
1) The Clevenger Repro has no period after the "Y" in Whiskey on the right side looking at the back. Some originals may be missing the period because of a dirty mold or an under blown example.
2) The Whitney Booz lacks the period following the word "Whiskey" on the roof.
3) The Clevenger Booz and the Whitney Booz bottles have a diagonal mold seam running to a circular depression on the central base. WHITNEY IS THE PLACE THE ORIGINAL WAS MADE!!!! THEY NEVER MADE A REPO THEY ONLY MADE THE ORIGINAL.I was at there orignal factory site this past Saturday at the Heritage Glass museum in Glassboro NJ.The woman working there that day wouldnt take an original BOOZ out of its alarmed protective glass cabinet so I could look at it more closely.If somebody has correct sound ways to tell the difference between an original and a repo those ways would be greatly appreciated

I seem to recall a Forum thread wherein the distinguishing features of the original Booz cabins were discussed, but am unable to locate same.

Status: offline 		Nice booz bottle Justglass. You said you sold it. Do you have a store in Vermont where customers can come and in and peruse? Where do you sell your ware? You are the first person I physically (well, cyberly) know who has owned one.

Very nice! Love them and I want one. Better get digging I guess.

Status: offline 		epgorge,  This e.g. booz was definitly the coolest bottle Ive ever owned. It had it all, crude awesome textured glass, wicked orange - yellow color, and super rare. I  broke a $125.00 bottle cleaning dust from my display a week earlier. Thats when I decided I should part with the E.G. before it meant the same faith. I miss it for sure. Most bottles I buy on ebay, local bottle shows , lawn sales and antique shops ( which Ive seem to have exhausted from VT. ME. NH. NY ) always looking for new ones. I do dig some dollar bottles here and there, usually nothing speical. I sell on ebay , and have put a few out at lawn sales which didnt seem to sell. Seems like they were more interested in baby clothes, and hunting and fishing gear. I found two shops one in Vt. and one in Ny that sell bottles only....Awesome variety but super high top end prices scared me away. Thats probably why they had such a huge supply.

Man,
That is sad and at the same time hillarious. I work at a local radio station that makes its revenue off of remote broadcasts at ice fishing derbies. It's like I am living in extreme "Northern Exposure." We should start a local bottle club to overcome the ignorance.
