[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 671923, member: 8267"]The fact that there are so many in the same style (same lettering, faux cracks, black frames, etc.) makes me lean toward some factory (in China). The answer may lie in determining the material they are on. And as none appear to be in hand, we can't tell. If ivory, I would expect a piece that large to have some bow to the surface. these appear to be flat. I was looking specifically at the vertical lines to Napoleons left. The lines on the ops appear to skip, while those on the other appear more solid. If they are cracks, they would not disappear over time.[/QUOTE]
