<p>[QUOTE=&quot;trip98, post: 2470378, member: 65&quot;]The owner passed in the late 1990s. While many pieces were very good in the collection there were definitely a few newer &quot;fakes&quot; that either the buyer knew as such or was ripped off. Some of the inventory was purchased online. Much was purchased in the Southwest from reputable dealers from 1960s-1980s</p><p><br /></p><p>I helped evaluate an estate a year ago and I was so sad that the owner had paid over $5,000 for a fake Galle lamp with GOA from an &quot;antique&quot; store in NY. Ha. Sold at the estate sale for $250.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
