Reproduction / Forgery / Fake
What can I look for in determining a genuine 1860 amber plantation log cabin bitters bottle and a fake or forgery.

You will also be interested in this page that I wrote specifically on Drakes Plantation reproductions.

It is original.
This is known as a 4-log. Color looks somewhat better than average in the photos. I am seeing a decent orange cast in the amber color.
