Ahh ok cool! Thank you for your help!
The Bosco cans are yellow and brown, with red rubber stamped "Bosco" on them. The repro cans will have a decal. The cans should be NON-magnetic. Good luck finding the correct ones.

Thanks Roger, what I would like to know is how to distinguish between repro bottles and postwar.

I recently picked up a Postwar Bosco car and platform in a medium sized junk lot of trains. The only problem is that its missing the bottles. I know it would be tough but I'd like to one day get original bottles for it. I know that repros are out there. To avoid getting burned does anyone know what I should be looking for?
Thank you,
