Need advice - 3/8/2011 4:45:25 PM    Bottles r LEET   Posts: 984 Joined: 2/12/2011 From: Plainfield, New Hampshire Status: offline I have no idea if this is in the right forum, but here it goes. I was searching the antique mall and came across one of these, http://cgi.ebay.com/Pt-GII-72-EAGLE-CORNUCOPIA-Flask-Olive-Amber-vnm_W0QQitemZ250773659079QQcategoryZ891QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7599414981727345701#ht_955wt_1141 but it had a slightly different top. The one I saw wasn't machine made and had lots of small bubbles. It's $20. I'm concerned if it is fake, it seemed a little bit too good to be true... Should I buy it? _____________________________ Ryan MacLeay Looking for 'Vehicles in the Bush' pictures. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Old-Truck/m-476657/tm.htm Also looking for Abandoned House pictures. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Abandoned-House/m-495368/tm.htm Post #: 1

If nothing else the learning experience would probably be worth $20 _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to Bottles r LEET) Post #: 4
