It appears to be a G1-107 . It has the characteristics of what McKearins book shows but I just don't know if its real or not. I know they made alot of reproductions of this bottle. Color is a bluish green and its listed as common , however in this color I could not say.

It has a factory fault in the lip. Almost looks like a master ink with a spout, but you can tell its a defect in the glass. This is not my bottle so I'm sorry for the pics, I took them from a cell phone.

Opinions please and thanks.

Well , one way Jeff told me is by the neck . The real Calabash necks has a gradual taper from the lip to the body. And the repro's are straighter and flare out more at the body . I hope you understand what I am trying to say . I hope I explained this correctly Jeff.
Here is a real Calabash .

I have one in the color green somewhere . Odd thinking about it , I have not seen it is quite a few years , will have to try and figure out where it has gotten to . I am sure it is a repro as well .
