<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9566894, member: 10944"]It’s a neat cottage industry! What a great display in your photo. Yours or just an online example? I purchased a nice enough repro at auction around a year or so ago and it started my fascination with them a bit. I did pull the trigger on a lidded friendship “purse” basket a while back. It has a nice “white stufff” whale on the top. I’m not totally positive of it’s authenticity but I think it has a good chance. Does seem that like anything else worth having the markets is flooded with Chinese and other fakes/repros. Turns out that owners would put their names inside the lids traditionally. Mine has an odd personalization under the lid so that is a good sign I think. Fakes I’ve seen so far are signed on the bottom of the basket sometimes but don’t have an owners name under the lid. </p><p><br /></p><p>They certainly do have a strong collectors market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
