Yes, it is a repro.  All bottles that have Wheaton, NJ embossed on the bottom are repros.  They are still collectable though, I frequently see them on eBay and people bid on them.  Some price guides even have a section for repro bottles.  I like the root beer extract you posted.  The pontiled ones are pretty decent to have, I have not personally seen a pontiled one but I know they're out there, the machine made ones are pretty common.

I buy Northern California bottles. Also, "any" Jamaica Ginger that I don't already have.

I guess that explains why I've never seen one, I have heard that they exist but I checked and could not find a listing for one.  Matt, thanks for setting me straight.
