[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4492861, member: 5833"]The collars on all the ones I have seen that were verifiably old have been gilt, sometimes with the name of the subject written by hand in ink around the edge. Think the black means newer & not likely to be marked. They may be only second generation copies, the molds made from antique ones. They're very clean & fresh looking.
