Looks like a variation of a Cormenier fake

Hill's "Horny Lady"

Might make a good heroin starter kit.

I'm thinking this is one of Phil's:

Otherwise I can't explain the lack of interest.

I think you are right, reminds me when one guy got the repro Tarragona's, and nailed another French collector, who thankfully out bid me.
Then the seller e-mailed me offering me another, which I passed on......a few days later SC started offering the glasses.

Has any one compared one of Phils Pontarlier's, with an orig?

Phil's repros look nice, but I don't think they'll compare to an antique Pontarlier.

I've got a 6-pak from Phil on it's way...

The real one... umm.... I ...ummm.... well someday.

I'll probably end up gettin' a sixer as well... for company and whatnot....

Yes, it's not very polite to serve absinthe from a set of Flintstone jelly jars.

DG

I haven't gone after an original Pontarlier, yet.
I was curious to see a side by side comparison.
I would guess that originals would be heavier glass, if going by the Lyonais I have, is any indication.

But I'll bet you wouldn't be half as pissed if you dropped a replica.

DG

The antique Pontarlier I have is not particularly heavy, especially compared to my other antique absinthe glasses (Choppe Yvonne, East glass, Mazagran)...

You know .... some days I think I'd love to fly to france with about $5000 just to spend on absinthe crap.

DG

I would guess that bar glasses are heavier than absinthe glasses meant for home use. I have an etched Cordon that is made of comparatively thin glass.

I'd have to agree with you there, Cros...

The last time I saw an original Pontarlier was three years ago, and too many glasses of absinthe.

I sleep with one next to my head.

Not absinthe related, but pretty damn impressive.
I wish it was in my living room.

Fake?

It's a perfectly authentic tea strainer.

Uh, no. It's listed as a fake in MCD's book.

"Not absinthe related, but pretty damn impressive.

I wish I'd SOLD it. The thing went for $85,000.

$85,000! Do you know how many Lime Tostitos you could buy with $85,000?

DG

No, but I'd venture to say a couple.

Well duh ... if you bought the really BIG bags.

DG

Lime Tostitos.Yum.They only stock the big bags in my supermarket.

No salsa needed.

"...complete with dregs of wormwood"

I feel stupider after reading that.?

I have gel filled tanqueray martini glasses that smell like burning olives! I wonder what I could get for them on Ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...8&category=3269

Uh, no.

Uh, very no.

Is'nt that a gravy spoon for those who like to strain out the giblets?

This guy is making a killing off off Phil's repro glasses. This is the third one he's sold for much more than it's worth.


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...egory=3269&rd=1

Let the buyer beware.

DG

I'm surprised at some of the bidders that should know better.

Stupidity? I got your stupidity right here.....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...46&category=118

and....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3&category=1275

not quite stupidity, and not quite absinthe either...

All this information is provided as a public service, please don't be stupid enough to actually bid on these items.

As Eddie Murphy once said, "Caveat Honky."

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=26389

It's too bad there's no description.

I guess I've been stupid & naive all along. Here I am, putting so much work & thought into my eBay auctions, trying to give the buyer as complete a picture of the item as I can.

When really, all I have to do is HAVE an auction. Don't need to state WHAT I'm selling. Don't need to describe it. Don't need to tell people what they'll get. Just include the word ABSINTHE/Filterated Czeckerland Xit & they'll buy.

I'm so dumb.

Who wants cake?

Oh, nice. That would be handy for my mortar ritual.

fool-proof?


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...01&category=118

Proof positive that the buyer is a fool?
