Real or Reproduction?

Jerry,

Thank you Master... Seriously - for your expertise, and willingness to share it.

Those kind of details are key to understanding the originality of things.

I recently bought the book "The Art of the Faker" by Frank Arnau. It's mostly about art forgeries, but extends discussion into physical objects. Many of his observations apply to our field of collecting and interests...

I consider these interests to be as much about history and education as they are about things that go bang!
