Case Accessories(per Jack's Request)

[Bruce Day]

I have a question for Parker collectors. The first photo is of a Parker Bros marked oil bottle. That one was obtained from a vintage case seller who said he got it from an old case. I am aware that Dave Parker had about 40-60 of these things made in the 1990's and advertised in the PP's as "like the originals". I don't recall seeing any such oil bottles in TPS, so I wonder if there were originals. Are all these modern versions, are there any originals and if so how do you tell?

Bruce, I've only been in this Parker collecting business for about 55 years, seriously for about 50 years. I've never seen a Parker Brothers marked oil bottle that I thought was original to the Parker Brothers factory. The good news if that some of the fake stuff is so old that it is considered collectable. My repro paper collection is gaining value nicely. My Parker Repro paper collection is doing almost as well, if not better.
