Do you mind if we see some pics?

[cordodge]

Not sure Cody, not really sure if they are hard to find or not lol

An original that needed a little work brought just over $900 a couple of weeks ago.

Oh that's a 100 bucks and you can sell it to me.

Guy offered it to me pretty cheap but I want to be fair.

[fc7cuda]

I'm not an expert, but the two areas circled in red look different from originals.

I don't believe that is an original Just my thoughts.

[cordodge]

Not sure maybe someone who if familiar with them will chime in.

Thanks,Bruce

Not sure but the guy said he had it for 25 years, not sure if they where repos around then or not

I bought my first repro, a Gene Gregory piece, in the early 90's, probably about 25 years ago.

Scrape around the numbers, originals were made from a white material , not black like it appears in your picture

Agreed...Original shaker bubbles were a white,fibrous material.. If the piece you've got there is black and smooth like resin it's an older repop..I've seen repops with the part number on them so that's not automatically a sign of originality.... Also, something is not correct with the drain holes as pointed out but it could be a modification by a previous owner... More pics/info are needed...

I don't know if this helps you or not, but here are some pics of my "original" shaker before I restored it.  As Alan stated the inside is white with over spray.
