One of my "duties" as Moderator of this thread is to inform and another is to learn. While this topic is not about fake or reproduced bottles, I felt I had to inform the unwary collector about a fraudelent practice. The sellers of these items may or may not know that the items they are selling are not original. Having said that, I will continue on topic

Back in the 1970's and into the early 1980's, the Jack Daniels Distillery issued replica bottles and jugs. They additionally had reprinted a set of 6 or 7 labels from early Jack Daniels whiskey bottles. These sets were sold at their store or given away to people who registered their replica decanters.
Here's a pic of 6 labels.

I had noticed a few intermittent cases of people putting these lables on old bottles/flasks and selling them as original Jack Daniel's bottles.
This past week , two were listed on eBay.
As we all know, alerting eBay to such practices is a waste of time. Alerting the seller is "auction interference."
So, I'll use this Forum as a means to alert...
Here's one bottle with a repRo label attached.

So, are the labels actually the same as the originals? Is there something about them that one can looks for (other than being on the wrong type of bottles and not looking old)?

MATT...other than the paper stock looking too white/new, they are (as far as I know) identical to the Originals.
Two labels can be identified as reprints easily , unless they have been trimmed.
The lable on the above flask has white areas on the left edge and is cut crooked on the reprints.
The Belle of Lincoln lables are missing the upper left and lower right corners on the reprints.

*see the pix of 6 labels above.
If needed I can retake those pix and post seperately.

I also noticed another type of fake labels.

People are printing out copies of the Jack Daniels signs offered on eBay and making labels from those which are also affixed to old bottles...[&:]

The seller of these 3 ABM wine bottles stated the labels were repros...They still sold for between $15 & 20...each.
(Possibly people didnt read all the item description?)

Wasn't that long ago, sellers were offering the reprinted lables in sets. Guess we know what some of the buyers did with those, huh....[&:]
