[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 4300210, member: 22"]I've never had any of these before either real or reproduction. I found this pair hidden away in a collapsed built in closet of the latest clearance, they were wrapped in perished brown paper and were lucky to survive as lots of heavy books and brochures had fallen on them. Judging by the dates on the brochures I would estimate they have been in there since the mid 50's Looking at this website [URL]https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Staffordshire-Dogs[/URL] I've convinced myself mine fit the criteria as being real. They are not identical, they have slight variation in size, painting, mold detail and signs of normal wear. Firing holes average about one-eighth inch in diameter. There is evidence of glaze frizzle bumps and pitting on the base. There are remains of paint on the backs. Of course the website might be totally wrong as we well know from people Googling and Binging and taking the first thing they see as gospel. What you say ?
