greg11 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 something does not look right about it, but i am no box expert. I've never seen one like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 This guy has sold so many fakes that it's tough to tell when he's not. If it's a re pro it's a good one! Don'tknow about the mibs?? FWIW here's the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/OLD-ANTIQUE-VINTAGE-TOY-MARBLES-CHRISTENSEN-AGATE-BOX_W0QQitemZ140377987160QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMarbles?hash=item20af2e1858 marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 It doesn't look right. In doesn't even look close to right. There are several qualities about this "box" that call it into question for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 C'mon, you guys messing with my friend Pavcraz again?! He's just trying to make a living! What harm does he do by whipping up a few rubber stamped boxes? Leaving them out in the weather or putting a little dark lacquer on them to make them look older. Nothing wrong with that. C'mon! Give a fella a break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I like those metal tabs at the corner. What gets me is that Alley interloper(top of middle row). David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popculturizm Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I have an old "cheese" box that is constructed like that circa 1930 (something-ish) with the metal clips .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think that Pavcraz has sometimes made his own boxes from start to finish. I don't have any boxes with metal tabs handy to compare so I can't tell if this is one of his made-from-scratch pieces, or if it is an authentic box which has been repurposed. However it is not authentic Christensen. Not even going to add "imho" on this one. Pavcraz does a sucky job with his stamps. He gets the print layout sorta okay. Basic design sorta okay. But the quality of the impression is very low. Marble sellers of the day had professional box makers. Pavcraz hasn't got the skill. Not yet.

popculturizm Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I believe the consensus is that this is a reproduction, shouldn't we be reporting this item to eBay, if will all do they might just take notice and "pavcraz" will have made one less sucker?

Steph Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Ebay doesn't seem to care about people abusing the the names and reputations of companies who aren't around to sue anymore. At least I couldn't find anything which covered Pavcraz's type of offering the last time I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
