Is this Abe? And I saw in an old 2005 post that this bottle is an Italian repro. (Whiskyman post here https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/fb.asp?m=31333&key=lincoln%2Citalian )

Repro of what? When was it made? And lastly any value at all to it?

The lady I bought mine from said she'd had it for over 40 years. That's about all I know.

Many thanks,
-Buck

CUBBY...it was made in Italy in the 1960s' as gift shop bottle, but some dealers tried to pass it off as authentic : thus the repro tag...even though it is a "fantasy flask."

I believe my good friend Chris would take exception to the embossed face, sighting relative likenesses of the facial features.. see for yourself here:
