I LOVE MARBLES Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 This does not look legit to me. What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Antique-CHINA-Marble-PINWHEEL-STENCIL-2-inches-/360268142168?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Marbles&hash=item53e1a79658 And only $50. shipping, what a bargain!

marbleus1 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Dont look right. the smallest red circle? smaller is harder the color that is still good doesnt seem sharp, but does seem (bright) and what about the mold residue? can that not be clean off better? its in awful good shape to have the apperance of so much age.

JVVmarbles Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 It looks better than the modern fakes from Germany, but it still doesn't look right. The originals are painted so much better with much tighter and straight lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeyecollector Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 If you read the whole ad -- TWICE -- the seller states that this "vintage" marble is NEW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popculturizm Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I never would trust someone with such a blatant typo it's "CEMETERY" not "CEMETARY" even with my dyslexia I can tell the difference and if someone can't write a specific descriptive word, then ergo not an authentic item.

lstmmrbls Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Nice newer fake IMO. Notice how the top and bottom leaves(?) are individually painted and decorated, not the single brush stroke that are on the genuine types. One of those Too much of a good things IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbboy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Sure looks like mold residue? Either that or they took it to the beach and let the sand crabs crap all over it. Like the poor repair job with that blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Just noticed the asian box it is in. Hope these babies are not coming out of China now. (but I would not doubt it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
