Scouted around to see what's what...

These look contrived. Full bottles, mismatched dates, mismatched caps, NOS labels;

The first one below has it all going wrong..NOS, mismatched labels, cap and bottle...
and of course filled and looking good for a 80 year old product. They must be kept
in a pyramid! ;)

This is a Dossin's bottle!

The following checked out ok but you never know...but at least no-one tried to fill and cap them!

No kidding! I filled an unusual ACL with maroon wool for a while. It looked pretty cool.
Nowadays I keep my labels in plexiglass cases, because regardless of how awesome
the label looks, when I find out its a repro I feel cheated. The authentic labeled bottles
are so far and few between that they look crusty next to their imposters.
