<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 10476760, member: 79705"]I've posted before that the Japanese still make new tortoiseshell items for sale because Japan does not enforce their agreement to stop production after their "reserves" are exhausted.... Since the 90s. They also continue to make traditional forms. So you would really have to research what the antique and new look like. I only know a little of what the western style stuff looks like, so I couldn't help you here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
