The following link is on ebay currently: http://cgi.ebay.com/Super-crude-thousands-of-bubbles-JENNY-LIND-flask_W0QQitemZ150140406017QQihZ005QQcategoryZ891QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Can you tell if this bottle is original or reproduction?Would you bid on this based on the way it looks.There is an obvious give away in part of its appearance in regaurds to it being original or reproduction.In my prior post a week ago I stated various ways to tell the original Fislervilles from the reproductions.Once you know what to look for its easy to tell.So Is it real or fake any takers out there?

Im gonna guess the czeck repro due to the neck and lip finish. Im probably wrong though.

The 107 should be pontiled, no? The neck is a little on the long side.

Looks like a poorly made import judging from the lip, neck, and quality of the glass.

cd-107 hemingray 9?

And yes, it does look like a cheap import. Bad glass quality.

Boy, is a fake.
I don't collect these type of bottles, but it really is a bad repro.
I am suprised who is selling this bottle because my brother has bought quite a few bottles from this seller and they were all very good ones.
