$100 for a fake? Seems like a lot?

That's the sad part. It will be back on ebay or in a shop as the real thing. They'll wait awhile but I think it will happen.
I used to believe that people are inherently good. I've found different unfortunately.
No one here of coarse.

No way that would pass for the real deal, but your right, plenty of people would try...

That's fine, as long as the chain of honesty continues.
I prefer a repro to be made to look repro or a commemorative even better.
Even as a reenactment piece, I never saw a need for pontils. That's just unnecessary. They could at least mark the stuff as ?? factory or fake.
I've made repro labels and while they wouldn't fool anyone on examination, I still mark them clearly as fake or copy or whatever.
Caveat emptor I suppose but I still don't like it.

Beautiful bottle! Apparantly the maker of the bottle is deceased and there were only 10 made. 4 in that color and 6 in different colors. Makes it sound like it was just a local glassmaker reproducing the item and not some company. Would make it worth a little bit more than your average repro imo. Just like with pottery.
