possibly a reproduction indian bitters

catman · Dec 18, 2017

This is a bottle i recently bought on E-Bay. i cannot tell if its real. it seems to be blown in a mold as the seams stops before the top. (there are three seams, one in the back and one on each side) i hope it's real!
thanks, Catman

Unfortunately I'm fairly certain this is a reproduction. All the real ones I can find pictured online have a much larger headdress, while the repros have the headdress like yours. I could always be wrong but I have my doubts.

ok. do you know if its the fifties Re-pro, or newer?

That is absolutely, positively NOT an old Indian Queen Bitters or Whiskey. It's definitely a mid-20th century decorative piece.

is it the more valuable of the re-pros?

Sadly I don't think it has much value...I see them pop up on eBay quite a bit and not sell.

It's really not a reproduction as it looks NOTHING like any sort of original other than a similarity in subject & shape. Anyone who knows what an original looks like would not mistake it for an original. The company which made it wasn't trying to fool anyone. It has ZERO value to a true bottle collector in my opinion. It's just my weird way but I actually HATE this type thing but "To Each His Own". I'm not putting anyone down.

It looks short & fat compared to the originals.
