Fact or Faked: The Para-bottle files

[Poison_Us]

I noticed these 2 in the poison arena this week.....and they just dont seem right to me. The seller has a whole bunch of different items for sale, not just bottles...but these just seem wrong to me. The green one looks like it may have been made by the same people making the German Half Post fakes we have seen.....

And this one...the label seems way to new looking...and I have never seen "Giftkorner" before.

"Giftkoerner" means "poison pellets" ..like rat poison or something, but the label looks fresh out of a home printer.. neither one of them looks genuine to me, the stoneware might be old but forget the label!

Hey Stephen,

Good catches! The first one looks ineptly etched. That 2nd one looks like the work of Granny Fark's dyslectic sister, Hans. Excogitated Fakery in my opinion, on both counts.

I'm no poison expert but I feel the same....too fake looking. The cork is obviously new and I didn't see any wear on that green one.
