I agree but at least they 1) aren't calling it what it isn't, just describing what they see (right down to the Crownford) 2) have a bunch or halfway decent bottles to sell with it.
BTW, thanks for the .pdf it I haven't said it already.

I had one of those J. A. Gilkas. A blasted small medicine bottle fell from an upper self in the cabinet and hit the Gilka below it right on the shoulder, cracked it all to the devil. I am still ticked over that, the Gilka is without question a handsome bottle indeed, but as you state is not all that expensive of a bottle.

I dont agree, they posted it in the before 1900 category, that implies its a pre-1900 bottle. I realize they probably didnt know what it was when they posted it. I respectfully informed them that it was a modern repro and should be listed under repros category. Not a big deal, its just sad for people buying this thinking its something authentic.

my point was ... as we all know, never buy something based on a story the seller tells....
