CASPERS WHISKEY w/FAKE LABEL - 3/5/2006 3:42:57 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2015 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Think Brian and I had discussed this bottle before but I couldn't locate the thread. It's a clear BIM label only rectangular flask-like bottle. Currently one listed on eBay. I emailed the seller and informed him it was a fake label. I was emailed back by his son, seems the seller is in the hospital ICU unit. Son said, thanks for the info and he would take it up with the winning bidder...?? here's a pic...and the auction url... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6258075417&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Attachment (1) _____________________________ * 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.

Were you aware this bottle has a fake label upon it, made in about 1970 by a fellow who lives in Pulaski VA ??? He had bought a couple os cases of the plain bottles at a local auction. Printed up the labels himself and placed them on the bottles and sold them as a gag bottle. He also created similar labels noted as: Hellers Bros. Bitters/Bristol, Va. Also fakes. Sorry to bust your bubble. AND...his reply... Hello. I am answering for my father, who has taken very ill and is currently in ICU. I appreciate you telling me and I will follow up with the winning bidder. _____________________________ * 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.

Well, the guy that cooked up these labels used "keywords" ta make it appeal to collectors of various categories of bottles. Bitters...Whiskey...Cure...Female Weakness...Tonic...and of course: Casper Fatigue is also mis-spelled...futigue. < Message edited by whiskeyman -- 3/5/2006 3:49:57 PM > _____________________________ * 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.

I can't believe all the bids on it . Even Corky bid on it I believe ? The label isn't even a good fake ! Most early bottle labels were usually quite graphic. Well , at least the Bitters were. < Message edited by BRIAN S. -- 3/6/2006 12:35:00 AM > _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !
