Real or repro? - 2/28/2011 6:49:09 PM    soda bottle   Posts: 240 Joined: 5/27/2010 Status: offline I don't know why I'm asking this but the first thing I think when I see it is Fake/Repro. It belongs to me and I acquired it from a deal which had some milks and TOC bottles but nothing really old. Looks the wrong color Not crude enough No major wear on the bottom Before I discard of it I would like some more knowledgeable folks to look at it. Thanks.
