Watch Out-Benjamin Green Bottles With Fake Labels

[nhpharm]

I've started to see a rash of "Green's Drug Store" and "Benjamin Green" labeled bottles on eBay. I can't tell if the labels are truly fake or if they are NOS but they are not right...someone is pasting them on bottles. Benjamin Green's store was open from 1882 until 1965 and was a prolific place with many bottles coming out of there embossed with his name...however, thousands of loose labels made it onto the market years ago and these labels that are posted right now look to be potentially modern reproductions. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BENJAMIN-GREEN-NEW-HAMPSHIRE-LABEL-ON-H-T-CO-HENRY-THAYER-MASS-BOTTLE-ANTIQUE-/131071519719?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e8478abe7 http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-GREENS-N-B-LINIMENT-OPEN-PONTIL-BOTTLE-WITH-PAPER-LABEL-NEW-HAMPSHIRE-/131074267406?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e84a2990e http://www.ebay.com/itm/BENJAMIN-GREEN-NEW-HAMPSHIRE-BOTTLE-PAPER-LABEL-DR-LIEBIG-GERMAN-SALTS-/131070857342?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e846e907e&nma=true&si=SIYEQ3PYXveSNBg3WV2a2EjEL7Q%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I'll go with truly fake, maybe poor photocopies. There's no reason they should be cut out so poorly, be so spotty in places or state Net. Contents (on the one) and match the period the bottles look to be made. I do like the supposed Thayer bottle but it doesn't look like something a powder would come in.
