I apologize if this has been covered before, but how in the heck can the reproduction be differentiated from an original?

Scot, compare the jar in Ryan's link... To this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Freedom-Motor-Oil-Freedom-Pa-Watchdog-tin-can-jar-/111335788812

I believe in Ryan's link someone put a decal on a mayo jar... I, at one time, owned a Freedom Oil Jar. (that I believe was real... LOL) It looked like the bottle in the link, I posted...

The jar in the ebay auction I posted is 100 percent fake. The person who made them also made Hudson jars. The jar in the ebay auction that Bob posted is real. The pictures Bob posted above are the most common style of freedom jars. There is one other style out there that is original. I will have to search oldgas, as there was a topic quite a while ago on these jars.

Ryan, I hope you find images of the other style.. I would like to gain some more info on the Freedom jar...

I have passed on a couple jars... Because they didn't look like the version I've owned in the past... I may have passed on the "real deal" because of my ignorance....

Look for the fill fine like the one shown on the Jar. This is just one of the indicators that the Jar is the Real deal and not a Mayonnaise jar with some added oily paper graphics.

I am glad they changed the auction, I contacted them telling them that it is not real.

Thanks for the compliment on the freedom jar, I actually have a few of them, LOL

If anybody ever has questions about freedom items, be sure to ask, I might be able to help.

I should buy one of these fake jars so that I can post pictures of the problems with them. I have held quite a few, just never bought one for obvious reasons.
