That's understood. He's from the great State of Maine.
Looks fake even to me!!

 

I'm not an Ebayer at the Moment. Is it illegal to sell Fakes on Ebay now? He states that this in fact a fake in his description.

 

The seller discloses that it is a replica. I personally think the listing violates eBay policies, as it does not prominently display that it is a fake. That is buried deep in his discussion.

 

"...I found out it is a replica, I tried the magnet test and they were not magnetic, because it is copper with silver coating..."

 

It is an eBay violation; someone must have told the seller as he ended the auction.

 

The description says it is not magnetic. It's a copper fake.

 

I’m amazed that he found two of them in a “tag sale.”

It has one of the usual Chinese toning looks. Then when you look at it in detail, you can see that the lettering does not match was George Morgan’s original work.
