E. G. Booz whiskey bottle

Walkertx · Sep 4, 2012

Here's another interesting bottle from my father's collection. I have read that there are lots of reproductions of this bottle. The descriptions I've found of the originals and reproductions are not super helpful. What do you think?

Here's another view: (I've noticed that some of you are EXCELLENT bottle picture-takers. I'm still learning.)

This is another one that Steve has covered, here is the link, it's very descriptive and if you're still wondering about it I'm sure he'll chime in when I send him a PM...

I'd say your example is the Clevenger Repro due to the sloping roof angle, which seems steeper and longer than the original...Jim

I just read the article at the link you sent. SUPER helpful, especially since there are pictures to go with it. I suspected it might be a reproduction, but I'm pretty sure now.

Thanks!

Hi Texas Walker Ranger, Nice bottles you have posted. The first one the Kellys is an original as Jim posted and is a rare keeper. The Booz bottle you have now posted was made at the Clevengers glass works which is closed but still standing today. Here is a picture of the Clevenger Glass Works

Ha! Texas Walker Ranger! I love it! I should have been more original with my login name.

I have enjoyed the history in the articles you've written.

My son and I are taking more pictures of other bottles so we can post them.

Hi Sarah Walker Texas Ranger was my Aunts favorite Show. I know Chuck Norris sort of Personally. I helped his son who is a race car driver with his race car in a New Jersey Shop back in 1999. We remained email acquaintances since then. A super nice guy who is still in amazing shape. Here is your Booz bottle with a little drawing on it. One of the first tell tale signs of the bottle not being original is the length of the neck where the taper begins. The Clevenger versions 99 percent of the time have a neck which is a good quarter to three eighths on an inch longer.The Bevel in the roof corners discovered by Tom Haunton and the letter O being drawn into the neck line again discovered by Tom are all good points. If you are fortunate enough to ever own an original there are other significant differences which help make the determination of originality. Here is the picture of your bottle altered at the roof corners.
