[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 385318, member: 51"]Probably incorrectly, some of us use "stone" to generically encompass all possibilities. Like in a rhinestone piece, "one stone missing", etc. Didn't mean to suggest it was a specific type of stone, but good question! If a reproduction, could be plastic or glass or enamel. I could be wrong but I think if it was enamel, the little comma would not stand alone like that, it would more fill the space, so maybe glass or plastic. Although pieces were not signed, I don't think you'd need an expert to determine whether this was an original Max Neiger. It will come down to the quality of construction, quality of the metal coating, weight in the hand, attention to detail, the way the pieces fit in the metal, etc. Guessing as these were copied, that this is a copy based on photos. But FULLY correct to say "Neiger Bros style" and of course, add lots of photos. Probably the people buying these know only too well what is what. Was interesting to learn about these.[/QUOTE]
