George's bottle is Much more valuable than the one on eBay, that one on eBay is most likely a fake one, I have been watching the seller, he has lot of well fake bottles, most of them with full of snuff inside, be aware...

The 'snuff' on the ebay bottle is likely caked on brown sugar.  Consistency is too thick.  Snuff usually does not 'cake' in that manner.  One of the 'faker' tricks.

I don't know that I see a lot of caked material ... If we are looking at the large darkened areas, that is the image on the opposite sides.  Same effect when looking at the bottle from the side.. Those dark areas are the paintings on the front and reverse sides.
