I am 99.99% sure that is a phony also. I was able to examine one of the clear glass FS's and it has so many things that just do not add up.
I will attach a scan of the FS Clear Glass Cal Nevas. The real one's are on the right. Both on the right do not have that extra layer of white ink applied as a base. Also note the 3 lobes rather than the 4 that the phony has.
I tried to attach the picture but it was taken with a high resolution digital camera and is too big too load up. I will send it to you at your Email.
If anyone else wants a look I will send at your request.

The square tray is really scarce, but the ink design is consistent with the more common round 3 lobe.
The trays have generated alot of discussion among serious collectors and it is the consensus they are not true FS Cal-Neva's. I might add that when the ink is looked at under magnification it is not consistent with the known originals.
