odd reproduction bitters - 12/10/2008 8:32:26 AM    GuntherHess Posts: 11468 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Indian-Vegetable-Bitter-medicine-bottle-MINT_W0QQitemZ320322808500QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item320322808500&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 This is an odd version of the Lancasters repro bottle. They seemed to have monkeyed with the embossing. Took the text off the bottom and used really crappy glass to try to make it look older. Its still obviously a machine made bottle and not old at all. I'm wondering if this is a new Chinese or mexican attempt? _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com Post #: 1

Don't believe I've ever seen a Mexican repro made that badly.Might also be one of the former Eastern Block countries pumping this crap out. I'd bet it was a private order from that company that spammed the forum claiming they'll reproduce any bottle, anytime, anyplace. Don't expect to see a glut of these listed on the web. These wont fool many _____________________________ http://youtu.be/YkdOqdpSc0A makes a man cry it does lol. (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 2

I don’t know a lot of American bottles. And I can see it on the price, that this bottle is an reproduction. Cheers!
