Repros and fakes - 1/26/2006 2:49:37 PM    kor   Posts: 6 Joined: 1/20/2006 From: Ohio Status: offline Hello all, I'm pretty new to bottle collecting and was hoping someone could recommend a good book or resource on spotting fakes. Theres certain pieces I would like to buy but don't want to get ripped off on places like ebay. I know that handling a lot of glass helps and plan on joining the local bottle club next month. Thanks so much for your time. Keith Post #: 1

It covers some bottles but goes into everything, including furnature, paperweights, pressed glass etc.. McKearin/Wilsons American Bottles and Flasks also has a section on repros and is the best guide to bottles around in most collectors opinions. Expect to pay 50-125 dollars for that one though. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.
