<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moen1305, post: 831155, member: 2544&quot;]A reproduction isn&#039;t necessarily a &quot;fake&quot;, it is a copy of the original sold by some company that sold them as such. The problem is that the second-hand market can often find people selling copies as the real thing to unsuspecting buyers. Like I said, if you don&#039;t know the history, just have it authenticated by an antiques dealer. Call them first and find out if they have an expert on this type of item in-house or if they can refer you to one.&nbsp; If they are honest, they won’t try and charge you for evaluating it.&nbsp; I&#039;d make sure that you tell them that you are not interested in selling it, you just want it appraised. Who knows if they are just telling you it&#039;s a copy to buy it at a low price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
