I have a light blue buffalo lithia water bottle. I need to know how to tell if its real or reproduction. approx worth and approx age. will try to give the best description i can. contact me at russellp73@aol.com if you have any questions or info for me.

9.75" tall x 4.5" wide. Buffalo Lithia Water, natures materia medica, Trade mark are the phrases on the bottle. The woman embossed on it is in smooth dress with no leg or feet showing. Her hair is textured. The water pitcher is rounded with a flared base and is sitting on her thigh not on her knee or not held in the air. 3 table legs are showing with a part of her dress going behind one of them. There are seems going up the side of the bottle that seem to disappear at the base of the neck. there are several "stripes" or striations that seem to spiral slightly around the neck like it was twisted when it was made. I'm no color expert but it seem to be of a light blue with no hints of green. There is a slight dome in the bottom of the bottle that is 3 1/8" wide. there was a cork in it when i found it but it basically disintegrated when I tried to take it out. There are no other markings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Contact me at my email address above. This is my first time using a forum and dont want to miss any important info.

Welcome Russell.
I really like those, I had one as a kid but not now. It looks real to me, about 1900 give or take. If being common was the only factor it would be about $5 but it's not. They're quite sought after so maybe in the $20-30 range.
Here's an old post with lots of good info to read through.
