Out of curiosity ...... Can you see a ghosted Simon's Centennial Bitters , or maybe where it was slug plated or peened from the mold ???? I have heard of several Clevenger Simon's having ghosted letters. Thanks , Brian < Message edited by BRIAN S. -- 7/16/2005 11:50:36 PM > _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !

These two just have a blank strip at the base with no sign of peening or ghost letters. _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/17/2005 4:25:37 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2012 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline I had intended this thread to be mainly about Clevenger, but I seem to have taken it into other categories as well...as it seemed easier at the time to just continue on this one...hmmmm. Maybe I can get the title changed? Anyways: ever go in Ebay and in the Search bar ,type Bitters? I did recently and most of the "bitters" were either Wheaton or repos. EXample:these are a couple of "Fantasy Bitters". I have seen these before with TCW embossed upon the base..indicating it is a Wheaton bottle.

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 8/1/2005 11:07:38 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2012 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline ORIGINAL Simon's Centennial Bitters/Bust of Washington. Last time I looked it was over $800.00 on Ebay. Lots of differences between this authentic one and the Clevenger Bros. example above, huh...yep.

It was under 300.00 for awhile.....I thought I might bid on it. It's over 1300.00 now , if I remember correctly. That's still darn cheap for an original !

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 8/2/2005 12:15:04 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 2012 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Heard the Knoxville show is no more...seems the place increased the rent 15% this year and were going up another 15% next year. Larry Acuff reportedly said "no way" and gave it up... This could be just a rumor but I got it from a relaible source. Maybe by next June Larry will have changed his mind...who knows? _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...

Don't know if it's true or not.... I could email Larry and find out for sure. Whatever happened to the Nashville Show ? They used to have a large Show and it went on the same weekend as the big Flea market . Brian _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 8/3/2005 11:26:19 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2012 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline The Nashville club went belly up...so no more show...I also think the Civil War memorabilia show contributed. Not sure if they're still having that one now. Neal & Mary Jane Ferguson and Claude Bellar & Nancy Pennington were the driving force behind the show & club, and Neal & Mary retired due to age and Claude just dropped outta sight...I later heard he was ill. Nancy...I dunno...?? _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...
