A couple of nice looking Clevenger Booz bottles

[Steve/sewell]

Here are two Clevenger made Booz bottles for bid on eBay.They look about as close as you can to an original Booz however one seller knows his is a Clevenger made and lists it so,the other seller lists his as a very old bottle and has slight damage.Each bottle will bring over 200 dollars easy. There are the usual tell tale signs these bottles are in fact Clevenger made.The first O in BOOZ drawn into the bottom of the neck.The word whiskey on the side of the bottle W H I on one even plane S K E Y shifted slightly down on another plane.The applied tapered tops on each bottle are done by the same gaffer at the Clevengers as he always leaves a double ring at the base of the taper.

They are very nice looking and about as close as you can get to an original.

One of these might hit 200 plus in the next hour.

Wow. I can't believe that a bottle that is listed as a repro could command that kind of cash. Amazing. My mom bought a yellow one at a rummage sale for a buck or two thinking that I might want an old bottle. I kindly thanked her and told her that it was a reproduction - but hey, if they can sell like that, maybe she did allright!

Clevenger seems to be considered the lesser of the repro "evils" and even has some legitimacy in some cases.
