Hi Charlie .... handsome looking Clevenger !
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
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.
Hey Charlie ,
Yeah I saw that one ! 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 !

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?
Clevenger Bros. Stoddard type decanters and one appears to be a botched attempt at a pitcher.
