JACK DANIELS REPRO LABELS on OLD BOTTLES - 5/12/2007 1:46:33 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2015 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline One of my "duties" as Moderator of this thread is to inform and another is to learn. While this topic is not about fake  or reproduced bottles, I felt I had to inform the unwary collector  about a fraudelent practice. The sellers of these items may or may not know that the items they are selling are not original. Having said that, I will continue on topic _____________________________ * 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.

These sets were sold at their store or given away to people who registered their replica decanters. Here's a pic of 6 labels.

This past week , two were listed on eBay. As we all know, alerting eBay to such practices is  a waste of time. Alerting the seller is "auction interference." So, I'll use this Forum as a means to alert... Here's one bottle with a repRo label attached.

Two labels  can be identified  as reprints easily , unless they have been trimmed. The lable on the above flask has white areas on the left edge and is cut crooked on the reprints. The Belle of Lincoln lables are missing the upper left and lower right corners on the reprints. *see the pix of 6 labels above. If needed I can retake those pix and post seperately. I also noticed another type of fake labels.   People are printing out copies of the Jack Daniels signs offered on eBay and making labels from those which are also affixed to old bottles... < Message edited by whiskeyman -- 5/12/2007 7:21:37 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.

The only way that I know of to get them was to send in a quart lable and 6 bucks. You could get posters too. The instructions to buy them was on the back of the bottle lable. They are made of heavyer paper stock. 98 bucks!!!!! Now where did I put those lables.......... _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 13

I went over to Jack Daniels.com and posted to the "contact us" page.  I brought this problem to their attention, and asked if there was a way to tell the repro labels from originals, and suggested they might want to take some kind of action to deter this kind of fraud. I told them "I know Cousin jack would be uh...mad!" I'll let you know if and when I hear back from them. Char (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 19

As is well known, bringing such shenanigans to eBays' attention is a wasted effort. But, notifying the JD guys is a good move. _____________________________ * 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.
