[QUOTE="stickman, post: 812658, member: 31227"] Here's a listing from Alibaba that is a little concerning. As you scroll down there are photos showing the smooth bottom without manufacturing marks, then continue down to the detail drawing (shown below) that shows the typical embossed bottom with Made Italy. Really? So where is it made? In the center of the bottom is a reserved spot for the manufacturing site punt mark, in this case it is left empty, or possibly you could specify whatever mark you want. A bit further down the page are reviews from Amazon commenting that Italian made carboys are very good quality. Are they implying that these are the carboys people are buying on Amazon? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/linlang-shanghai-high-quality-Soda-lime_1600340185395.html?spm=a2700.details.maylikeexp.5.61d65b20sDJRK9[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Carboy 5gal Alibaba.png"]81564[/ATTACH] The drawing below from The Cary Company shows the bottom of the Italian carboy with the "circle V" punt mark in the middle, which indicates the manufacturing site Vetri Speciali Italy Ormelle. I don't think there is any guarantee if purchasing a carboy from this supplier that it would be made at this particular site, but it illustrates how reputable manufacturers typically include punt marks for traceability. Even though a punt mark in the middle could be fake, I would certainly question anything without a mark. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Carboy 5gal Italy mfg.jpg"]81563[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
