HELP Is this a REPO CATHEDRAL PICKLE ??

[nhpharm]

Definitely a modern reproduction...as Sunrunner says, made for the Civil war re-enactors in the past few years.

I thought it might be from the old Dog River Repro people, but they don't show one in color. It's definitely a repro, no way that pontil is real. Here's the Dog River website, BTW. http://www.dogriverglass.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=62 They made some pretty good repros, which is great for the Civil War Reenactors and lousy for those of us who collect. There apparently are also some Chinese contractors out there now as well, but the websites aren't easy to find. Jim G

I think it's a real pontil but done in modern times is all. The whole thing looks like a reproduction but fairly well done. In the old days they got made and some went so far as burying them for a time to make them look "more real".

I posted this one a while ago. Was reportedly made at Vicksburg Mississippi. I have actually seen several on EBay being passed as the real deal. I have not seen the pickle though. Mitch
