RE: Booze... - 9/28/2006 2:18:49 PM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Well, I bought it. I don't think its a cleavenger or a wheaton and its sure not an original. The seam goes all the way to the top. Check out the video and tell me what you guys think. swizzle http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n35/swizzlenutz/?action=view&current=2006_0928_135912AA.flv (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 7

I host my own so they are active until I delete them. A lot of people pull thier photos right after auction, I guess so others cant use them or to make space. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 8

RE: Booze... - 9/28/2006 2:24:37 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5156 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: online I like your movies but could you move the bottle a little slower? Its a bit hard to get a good look at it. It looked like the lip was ground on the top, that seemed odd. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 9

RE: Booze... - 9/28/2006 2:40:45 PM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Yes the top lip is ground. My batteries are about dead so I can't take anymore video today. The reason I was moving the bottle so quick is because the camera I'm using only does 20sec. video clips. I believe after you hit the play button it changes into a pause button. See if you can't stop the video and take a better look. Hopefully that helps. Swizzle (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 10

BOOZ VIDEO!! - 9/30/2006 7:27:36 PM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline I was hoping to get some more feedback on this one. I'd say bump but its still at the top. Swizzle (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 11

RE: BOOZ VIDEO!! - 10/3/2006 11:37:30 AM    GuntherHess Posts: 5156 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: online I'm wondering why they would grind the top of the lip? Maybe it was chipped up and an indiviual did it? Maybe it was made that way to make it seem older? Any ideas on that? _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 12

Clevenger used to throw out anything not up to par and then some guy started getting that stuff from them and cleaning them up for resale. Including grinding and polishing the imperfections. How wierd is that? Or it could be the lip was real bad and an owner just did it themselves _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

RE: BOOZ VIDEO!! - 10/8/2006 1:28:47 PM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline I'm not sure about the lip myself. It is at a slight angle. I will post a few slowed down video's and try to cover the entire bottle better. (Waiting for the batteries to charge). If they were going to grind it down to hide damage wouldn't they try to make it look even? Maybe not. It's just bugging me that I can't find out who actually made this particular repro. Oh well that's part of the bottle bug disease. constant wonder of unknown things.

I have never seen nor heard of a EG Booze cabin with a ground lip. I just took a quick look through Haunton's book (Tippecanoe & E.G. Booze Too),  and didn't see any such examples noted either.Methinks someone tried to hide/repair some damage....??? _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.
