Message:: [QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 8683, member: 51"]Terry, I agree, more accurate would be to call these pieces "fake".  I think the term "reproduction" somehow allows sellers to get away with selling these on Ebay, but truly they are "fakes". Pat, I also wondered how these pieces (listed on Ebay as "Roseville Reproductions") were being sold on Ebay.  I had a 1960's Barbie knock-off doll I tried to list about 7 years ago.  I was not representing it as a Barbie, in fact I think I used the words "knock-off" in the title.  That auction was live for about sixty seconds before I got a threatening letter from Ebay about how "fakes, etc". were not allowed.    Either they changed their tune or the term "reproduction" is allowed.  The info on this post is answering a big question I've had over the last few years at the thrifts.  Although this is the first Roseville fake I've seen, I've seen dozens of those colored clear glass hens in baskets as shown on the Miles Kimball catalog (they are all over the thrifts).  Wasn't really tempted by them because that kind of thing, even if older, does not seem to be selling, but was wondering where they all came from. And the AA link is important to know about.  Thank you.[/QUOTE]
