E C BOOZ'S OLD CABIN WHISKEY - 4/9/2007 6:47:33 AM    wildbillhiccup   Posts: 7 Joined: 2/14/2007 Status: offline I restore old homes for a living and have saved a few old bottles I have found over the years. I did not think they were of much value until my wife recently bought a collectors guide and determined that a few have significant value with the E C Booz's being quite valuable. We have thoroughly checked everytrhing out and it is an original and in excellent condition. We would l;ike to know the best and safest way to sell it as well as some others { to help pay off some of our son's college debt! } How best to not be scammed? How can buyers be sure of authenticity and we assured of payment, etc.? We also have a bitters bottle with paper label still attached as well as some others. Thanks to all, wildbillhiccup Post #: 1

Whiskey man and a couple of others can help you. Post them in the Repro thread and ask if this is a repro. If this is original it could bring as much as 20 grand. Correct me if I am wrong, anyone. Unfortunately, it won't help much with the cost of college these day, eh? Joel _____________________________ (in reply to wildbillhiccup) Post #: 3

Or if it has BOOZE BOTTLE embossed on the base it is a repro. Post some pics and it and we will help you in identifying it as an original or a repro. _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !

RE: E C BOOZ'S OLD CABIN WHISKEY - 4/14/2007 10:04:24 AM    wildbillhiccup   Posts: 7 Joined: 2/14/2007 Status: offline Well thats hopefully enough for anyone to let me know if my small collection is worthwhile. However, after spending a little time with you folks here I seem to be developing the desire to go digging around all these old 1790's homes I've worked on over the years!! No kidding, this whole bottle thing is intriguing not only me but my wife as well, so I hope to spend a little more time here sucking up what info I can. Thanks to all...............

The Atwoods Bitters you pictured are common and unless pontilled, generally sell for under $20.00. Part II: Identifying bottles that have been reproduced many times by many makers and declaring whether one is authentic or not can be trying....especially with the Booz cabin.Being as the Clevengers and others have been making the Booz since the 1930's, the fact you found it in an old house doesn't necessarily  authenticate it as an original. I have a Clevenger repro on my shelf that appears identical to your Booz. The only difference I can see from the one in the pix you posted is , on the side , the "S" in the word whiSkey is different from the Clevenger repros and looks more like the "S" on the Whitney Booz. I had thought that SEWELL'S  detailed post about the Booz cabins would clarify most queries, but to a Newbie it could appear confusing.In cases like this, a HANDS ON method is the only way to identify with certainty that your Booz is an original. I am hesitant to state that it is a repro, based on the few pix  and info provided....But I can't say it's authentic either, & for the same reasons.Perhaps you could email Tom Haunton for some more professional clarification. His eBay ID is Jerseyana...and you can send him an E thru eBay's messaging system. Below is a pic of the Clevenger "S"....  Attachment (1) _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...

RE: E C BOOZ'S OLD CABIN WHISKEY - 4/15/2007 9:23:58 AM    wildbillhiccup   Posts: 7 Joined: 2/14/2007 Status: offline Well, well, well, ..................I seemed to have determined at DIGGER ODELL's site that I have a reproduction as the determining factor being the lack of a period after whiskey and most importantly the 'S' in Whiskey is not centerd under the "C" in Cabin on the roof. However, my wife and I have enjoyed this to no end and hope to delve into this wild world of old bottles. Thanks { i think!} for all the help and look forward to more time here!!     _____________________________ GIDDYUP, wildbillhiccup (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 15

BTW...that same info is in SEWELL's post on the Reproduction Thread ( which I thought you had already read ???) What I have learned about researching the Booz Original from the Cleve   Hope ya stick around and become more interested in this fabulous Hobby.
