<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 1203479, member: 308&quot;]To an extent that is true.&nbsp; Many new items we see here in the US are marked only with foil labels that are easily removed.&nbsp; There are, though, many very nice older pieces that are unmarked and they are frequently overlooked due to that fact.&nbsp; All the more reason to become familiar with other item characteristics.&nbsp; Look for well decorated items.&nbsp; You know how to spot decals.&nbsp; Also note the areas of sloppiness in your box above:&nbsp; the pen line surrounding the decal is particularly troubling.&nbsp; It was not drawn with a very steady hand.&nbsp; And the gold and white dots show a lack of uniformity.&nbsp; All are clues that made me feel uneasy that this was a genuine old piece.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
