Looks like a lazer copy to me; especially when you look at the close-up of the label...

How do you like the seller adding at the bottom that an antique is anything over 25 years old?[] Probably right after someone called him out in the question asked! I always thought antique meant 100 years old. Guess times are a changing.

When I crossed the border last September, the officer asked me how long it took an item before you can call it an antique (it was a trick question as I was declaring a lot of things as being antiques); my answer was 100 years. And according to him I was right.

According to the eBay seller, I must be a very old antique at 42 years of age!

nostalgia if 42 is a very old antique then my 43 is ancient[]

amazing someone would bid on that with all the red flags...like"iam an expert of nothing"
"no gurentees" ect ect

Actually, 30 years is considered antique. However, the VALUE of any antique is derived from it's rarity and of course and individuals' personal connection to it.

I've seen a few price guides that even value this repro at $100 if it comes with the tag and cap. Its a 75th anniversary collectors bottle. They don't show up very often.

Please be aware that an ANTIQUE is considered anything over 25 years old.

where in the world did the seller come up with that?
1985 is the threshold for antiques? I have tee shirts older than that
Its amazing the things people come up with.

I think that's just some urban myth that people occasionally "Parrot"...perhaps it's spun off the popular view that a car is a "classic" after 25 years....?
