I have fond memories of Woolworths. When we were kids, mom used to take us on the bus (she didn't drive) to our doctors appointments in town....
I think the suffix on CAESARIBUS indicates possession, as in "of the Caesars" - so perhaps "Carteia of the Ceasars" (?) Doing some reading, I...

I agree on the idea of not playing policeman when there's clearly no wrong-doing intended. I wasn't aware of the eBay policy on replicas, though....
