    I have two of these with matching earrings that belonged to my Aunt. I was going to list them for about $12.99 until I looked online and saw pricing from $142-$175! Good grief.

    The market on plastic fruit must have changed a bit since this was new.

    I had lots of attention on one I had listed at north of $100. Mine was 100% fruit and glass though. I had assumed mine was Italian. Are West German versions plastic?

    These are so much fun to wear! No wonder the prices of these have gone up.
    There are indeed plastic and glass versions of these, with the glass ones being a bit older and better quality.

    They often are, but so are pieces from Hong Kong. Some older German pieces are glass, but as the 50s and 60s wore on they went to plastics.
