Each year at the club convention Terry Whitmeyer holds a workshop on reproductions. He brings an original and repro for many containers, and explains the
differences. Having a knowledge of what to look for can save you big bucks from some dealer who is trying to pass off a repro for a high priced old original.
Samples of most of the known repros are displayed so members can look at them and photograph them if so desired.
