Message:: [QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 82828, member: 54"]Thanks, looked at Kard's.  All I can say about that one is that it has a lot of competition, specifically 6254 similar items.  <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=chinese+bronze+censer+handles&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR5.TRC2.A0.H0.Xchinese+bronze+censer+.TRS0&_nkw=chinese+bronze+censer+&_sacat=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=chinese+bronze+censer+handles&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR5.TRC2.A0.H0.Xchinese+bronze+censer+.TRS0&_nkw=chinese+bronze+censer+&_sacat=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=chinese+bronze+censer+handles&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR5.TRC2.A0.H0.Xchinese+bronze+censer+.TRS0&_nkw=chinese+bronze+censer+&_sacat=0</a> Scrolling thru even a few pages shows many models repeating, often with a different patination, different feet, different handles, etc.  must be a sizeable industry in China turning out all these censers. Still I don't know whether Kard's is old or new -seems to be the only one with a wooden lid.  I checked a number of the other ones for sale and didn't see one with those marks, all those I happened to look at had the familiar square cartouche with many characters in it.[/QUOTE]
