[QUOTE="Wolfrott, post: 264981, member: 1711"]I bought an antique (hallmarked) sterling silver vesta with an enamel cat sailor, from an eBay store. A week later the owner's stocked another vesta (incorrectly marking albo silver as sterling but I digress) with the same enamel art. I've noticed they're selling other antique accessories in silver & other materials, with duplicate enamel art. Are these real antiques, modern repros/fakes, or was the art added? Here's my vesta, [URL='https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/372015727128']versus it's twin.[/URL] [URL='https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/371926595318']Terrier enamel[/URL] vs [URL='https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/371371812612']Terrier enamel silver[/URL] examples[/QUOTE]
