Hello Everyone:
First off, I'm sorry to bring David Levine's Owl Drug Collectors blog back to the fore on this site, but I believe it's necessary to offer an alternative to Levine's most recent posting, in which he plays loose with the historical facts to impugn the character of Ebay seller clancy_kid. Since Mr. Levine has a habit of editing his posts to suit his purposes as events unfold, for the record I've cut-and-pasted the very words of Levine's latest missive as follows:

FALSE AND MISREPRESENTATION / EBAY
January 29, 2013
The second of these announcements deals with the subject of the misrepresentation on Ebay. Several years the blog discussed an item on Ebay the so-called Canadian “Rigo†Owl Drug connection. At that time the seller on Ebay misrepresented the item as an Owl Drug item connected to the Owl Drug Company of San Francisco. In the blog discussion of this bottle it was determined that the bottle was not associated with the Owl Drug Company of San Francisco, was not produced by the Richards Glass company “Rigo†in Canada but was instead produced in China. The label that appeared on the bottle was not an antique label but according to the manufacturer’s representative the label was a new label produced overseas and glued to the bottle with modern glue.
Today the Clancy kid has a similar bottle on sale on Ebay. This bottle is not produced by the Richards Glass Company (RIGO) nor is the label an authentic Owl Drug label. If, in fact, this bottle or an identical one was determined the last time it appeared on Ebay to be a total misrepresentation, then why would the seller put this same type of bottle up for sale? Did he believe that people would not see the falsehood and forget what was done before? Is he deliberately trying to mislead any buyer again just for the purpose of monetary gain? Buyer beware –don’t be fooled just because he has an Ebay store and a lot of feedbacks. It is obvious that despite the fact that the seller has been involved in bottle collecting for over 40 years, he has not learned a thing about the Owl Drug Company of San Francisco or other Canadian bottles. Does he thinks that by putting a so-called Canadian bottle with a false Owl Drug label on the bottle will get his item sold? Or does he even care?

Mr. Levine also includes three bottle pictures that the clancy_kid has posted with the ebay listing in question. Below is one of the three pictures:
