How to tell a real BOOZ from the CLevenger - 4/24/2008 8:50:43 AM    sewellbottleman Posts: 267 Joined: 1/29/2007 From: Mantua Township/Sewell section Status: offline Some of the pictures in this thread belong to Mr. Tom Haunton the upmost authority on the BOOZ bottle.I highly recommend the purchasing of his (CD Tippecanoe and E.G. Booz Too!)wether you collect reroductions originals or both.On my previous post : showArrow("4/10/2008 8:20:16 PM",95749,32,false) What I have learned about researching the Booz Original from the Clevenger .  I talked about ways to distinguish the differences between the BOOZ original and the Clevenger version.Hopefully the following pictures and the descriptions on the pictures will more easily explain some of the very obvious ways to tell the original from the Clevenger.The first picture is of the right side of an original BOOZ.

This period is only on originals not the Clevenger version Attachment (1) (in reply to sewellbottleman) Post #: 2

Notice that the letters O in the word BOOZ,C in the word CABIN and S in the word WHISKEY Top to bottom line up straight one under the other.I have drawn a line through them On the Clevenger version  the letters are off center of each other.They run top right to bottom left of each other.

On the Original BOOZ bottle the portion of the roof that was beveled is small in length.On the Clevenger version the Bevel of the roof line is much deeper into the roof line. I have drawn a line through the original roof showing where the Clevenger bevel begins and ends. On the original BOOZ the top of the bevel ends in the first full shingle below it.On the Clevenger version the bevel is into the second full shingle below it.

Quite honestly their is no real difference between the two bottles in regaurds to their bases.Here is a picture of the Base of an original BOOZ Attachment (1) (in reply to sewellbottleman) Post #: 6
