I smelled a sample you had in Wisconsin from Asa. A very pleasant smell you kept wanting to return to and get another whiff !
Was that the authentic Tonquin Musk ?

I have no doubt I picked up the container at least a half dozen times and took a big whiff. I do believe Dave Pluegers statement that it could overpower some formula's.

i have authentic tonquin , pure quill the oldtimers call it .
and it most definetly can over power , it can even tame down skunk surprizingly .not completely , it mellows it out .
i would hazard to guess that in days long past , it was used by women as perfume.
i've got some authentic sperm whale oil , anyone else ?
as far as who makes good art. tonquin , the best i've ran across i got from blackie but i don't think its synthetic , i think its tinctured from the real thing .and at $12.50 an oz. , affordable.
he has the best asafoetida i've found as well.made from pure gum.

I took a sniff of a bottle of imitation tonqun that came from Stirling Fur...
...it's listed at 4.00/oz so I assume this would be a tincture...?
The smell was similar to talcum powder...
...how does this compare to the odor of the real thing or the high quality imitation musk that Mr. Dobbins offers?

Asa is old school, him I can see, as his dad was in the lure trade back when tonquin was available. Charlie Dobbins was around back then too.
This 25/ 50% so on . . . ? It creates a war when you try to convince someone they are being taken by an imitation that looks, smells, etc. like the real thing . . . Go buy your gal a Cubic Zirconium Diamond . . . I mean, she won't care, right?
Artificial Tonquin will catch animals, because, well, it smells good . . . and that's all many trappers care about. These trappers who say they've got lots of it are the same people who have the original Nelson formula's floating around . . . who can prove it? It will NOT get canines and beaver "aroused" and that is what the real stuff did and what made it SO VALUABLE in a lure!
If there were real tonquin available in any quantity . . . I'd own it!

Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

tony , no one said they had lots of tonquin but i've got enough of real tonquin i doubt you could afford to buy it !
and no its not for sale .
whatever blackies tonquin is, synthectic,art.or tinctured , its the closest i've found to the real deal.
the original owner of the tonquin i have died 40 years ago ,the same person had sperm whale oil, seal oil, and some other rare ingredients.
oh by the way i do have nelsons lure formulas and they do work and catch fur ! are they the originals ? who cares !
