<p>[QUOTE="Christmasjoy, post: 282379, member: 164"]Antique Doll collecting is the same way, the market is flooded with repros, fakes etc, some of them very well done. It's only with 40 yrs of collecting that I can spot a fake repro .. the old bisque itself has a silky feel to it that the newer ones don't have, the face-painting is a dead give-away too .. the answer is of course is to KNOW your subject, the feel, the look .. and if ones not sure they can always come here!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. And even then sometimes the buyer wants to INSIST that they have the real thing and don't really want an opinion. .. Joy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
