It sounds as if it could be a potentially valuable bottle, but full coverage pictures (many) are essential for making accurate assessments...

Welcome to the forum, Tony... Looking forward to seeing this bottle... Original sealed bottles from the 19th century and earlier are enough to get any healthy bottle nut's pulse racing wildly!!!

Or check out Digger's web page titled "More Reproductions, 2002"...

It would seem your bottle is definitely a repro...
