These have been selling for a while but thought I would say something just in case someone was not aware of what they really are. They are just a empty propane torch bottle (hopefully completely empty) painted safety red .  https://www.ebay.com/itm/68-74-Ford-Mustang-Space-Saver-Spare-Tire-Inflator-Boss-Shelby-Any-Tire-Size/333285616610  . Among other details the most obvious ones are that the genuine bottle has a smaller top opening and of course a different size and style black cap.

The wannabe may go unnoticed when stored in the cradle or loose under the tire which is hard to completely see.  The safety red paint and sticker is what you can make out with a casual examination . Just so that you can make a informed decision.

Thanks Bob, at least he does say they are reproduction.

But, he must be doing the repopping ;D

The seller is being up front with the information he is providing IMO.
