<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 2238471, member: 5833&quot;]Judaica coming out of Poland also makes me uneasy, &amp; seller has quite a number of items tagged that way.&nbsp; This one really sets off alarm bells for me:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/YUkAAOSwJshdkIOs/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/133413135767" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/133413135767" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/133413135767</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If this looks this way because it was lost &amp; buried, how was it rediscovered?&nbsp; If it wasn&#039;t lost &amp; buried, how did it end up looking like that?&nbsp; An awful lot of the metal items that are Judaica, such as dreidels, look as though they have been buried.&nbsp; They all have a suspiciously even coating of oxidation.&nbsp; Not sure if I&#039;m more bothered by the idea that these things have been artificially aged or the thought that they could genuinely have been the possessions of Polish Jews.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize seller&#039;s listings in Polish may have more detailed information, &amp; does have a 100% positive feedback rating. Recent satisfied customers have bought mainly tokens/jetons &amp; dog tags.&nbsp; Your seal is not Judaica in any way that I can tell.&nbsp; Would a Jewish family have been granted arms in Poland?&nbsp; Seller only gives it as speculation.&nbsp; I can&#039;t imagine what conditions would have ravaged the wood handle while leaving the matrix so unscarred.&nbsp; Must have been angry wolverines.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even if it is glass, even if it is not buried treasure, it is still very pretty, you like it &amp; price was not exorbitant.&nbsp; If you can turn it into something you can wear or otherwise enjoy (would it fit in the other mount you have?), you done good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
