Fakes, etc.

I'll begin populating this page with photos of reproductions, fakes and fantasy items as I see them listed on eBay, Etsy and other such sites. Hopefully, collectors will refer to this page to minimize the occasions reproductions, fakes and fantasy items are unknowingly purchased. If you see something on this page that was sold to you purporting to be a vintage item, immediately send it back for a full refund.

The seller states this was made in Germany during the 1930s. It surely was made off-shore, but not in Germany. This was almost certainly made in China in 2016 or 2107. It has zero collectible value. Don't be fooled!
