E.G.BOOZ real or fake - 3/6/2008 8:49:18 PM    digger don   Posts: 44 Joined: 11/25/2007 Status: offline Hello folks  I just saw a listing on Ebay for an original E.G.BOOZ whiskey bottle . Listed in bottles and insulators . Is it real or clevenger I have an original and I think it is a repro. What do you think ? Post #: 1

Loby Idug my E.G.Booz from a privy that dated back to the 1860's judging from the other bottles found in the hole. The sad part is my Booz has a hole in the back corner. The 1 listed doesn't look like mine thats why I asked the question. (in reply to BRIAN S.) Post #: 5

And thank you Matt for the link to the great info posted by Steve. Now if someone could just help me figure out my Turlington bottle I'd be doing all right!! Thanks guys!
