Reproduction Alert

[cowseatmaize]

If memory serves there were 3 glasshouses in the Mill Village/Stoddard area. None of them were named Stoddard Glass Company. Since the company is fictitious, the bottle must be also right?

Correction, 4. One was South Stoddard Glass Co. opened about 1850. I guess it's only semi-fiction.So much for working on memory.

The worst thing about flea bay is its like the old wild west was 150 years ago, just about anything goes, as the old saying goes Caveat Emptor, buyer beware, there is evil here........

At one point is was a decent way to get estimates. Now there are too many idiot buyers and sellers to sort though.I admit, I've wanted somethings and time was short and I paid too much but nothing like that.Maybe rewording titles here to make it more searchable would help get the word out better. This one could be "Reproduction Small Stoddard Utility/Medicine Bottles Alert" or something to that effect. [8|]

I'm going to put something together to send to Mr Meyer at either the FOHBC or peachridge. In the meantime here is a pic for documentation that should stay here.Ebay® links only last a few months for the most part.[attachment=FJBeecher.jpg]

This one only sold for $49...still way too much for a reproduction but maybe people are getting the message...

Interesting, and they ended it early. The base and pontil look a little different than the others and the top looks glued on also.
