That's really nice looking!

My view and my view only.
Sure has a different collar and sheen to the glass! The label looks like a repro to me also.

If you're happy with it, so am I!

They are repros and Hemi knows that. Just made for the Houston National Show put on by the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors. Drakes do not come in cobalt otherwise, which is why this color was selected for these. They are very cool to add to a collection...I bought one at the show as well.

Looks like they did a nice job with them. Quality of the work looks pretty good. Are they marked somewhere so they won't end up out in the secondary market?

Marked on the base M. Craig (for Michael Craig, who was instrumental in getting these made). They won't fool anyone.

Just got my FOHBC Drakes bottle today. It is specially marked on the base & has no pontil.

Bruce, yours looks nicer then mine. my top is wide on one side & skinny on the other side, think I got the first one that was the Guinea pig test try?
