Thank you for looking at our items and Happy Shopping! ©1998 By Digger Odell Publications: Among the better reproduction bottles are those made by the Clevenger Brother Glass Works. Following in their father's footsteps, Tom, Reno, and Allie Clevenger apprenticed at Moore Brothers Clayton Glass Works until it closed in 1912. They tried other work, but eventually decided to open their own glass works in the South Jersey Tradition. In 1930 they constructed a small furnace in the stable of their backyard in Clayton. Their intent was to produce affordable reproductions of early American glass. In the earliest surviving catalog (1934)of their products is found many types of South Jersey reproductions. ©Jim Davies, Clevenger Glass; A brief history(Some historical information courtesy of Tom Haunton, Clevenger glass historian.): It is my understanding that in the early 1930's Clevenger Brothers began to do mold blown items. Some of the most famous pieces of glass reproductions were the Jenny Lind Calabash, the Booz bottle, Washington Taylor flask and the Eagle and Grape flask. I hesitate to use the word reproductions because very few of the molds used by Clevenger's were the original molds. Most of the copies of the famous pieces were variations of the originals. The first catalog to appear showing nothing but moldblown items came out around the end of World War II. All of the pieces, with a few rare exceptions, were made without any identification marks on them before 1966. I have been told that if a change was made in a mold, starting in the mid 1950's, that a small CB was sometimes added to the mold.
