My first thought was "Clevenger". It looks very convincing! I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this one.

If you go to the reproduction bottles and jars area of the forum you will see my post explaining everything about how to tell an original from the Clevengers version.The only known aqua and its a faint aqua colored original is in the Corning museum.It is one of the top three in rarity as only one has ever been recorded ever and it is the one at the Corning museum.Originals are always amber usually dark but occasionally a lighter shade of orangy amber.

The ultra rare one and only aqua version. The Mckearin numbered GVII-5 in the Corning museum.
The value on this bottle is 6 figures no doubt.

I guess "old and original" can be misleading. To a teenager 40 years is old, and it is an original reproduction[;)]

Well Steve and Matt, I just came in here to the computer and got to read your coverage of this fraud attempt. Just before this treat, I got out my three E.G, BOOZE bottles and set them in the bow window. As I was doing this Steve, I thought of your visit and the fact that you would get to see my three repros - one I think is Clevenger and two were created by Smith Glass. Unique timing. RED M.

Poor Steve! You've got a few more years of torture! At least I feel like the worst for me has passed, since my daughter is now 19. It was rough! [:mad:] Still is, but a lot calmer.
