<p>[QUOTE=&quot;i need help, post: 1673001, member: 5718&quot;]Buyers should never accept &quot;Meriden Kate Greenaway figural napkin ring&quot; for example, as a guarantee of authenticity. The factory name &quot;Meriden&quot; or style &quot;Kate Greenaway&quot; do not address <i>when</i> the piece was made. Unethical sellers can point to a new Meriden mark and claim that is all that is stated on the receipt. Protect yourself by insisting the <i>age</i> of the piece or <i>date</i> of its production is written on the receipt. It is always better to write <i>dates</i> such as &quot;ca. 1900&quot; or, &quot;1910-1920&quot; rather than more general references such as styles or time periods, such as &quot;Art Deco&quot; or &quot;Victorian&quot;.</p><p><a href="https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Napkin-Rings-with-Faked-Marks" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Napkin-Rings-with-Faked-Marks" rel="nofollow">https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Napkin-Rings-with-Faked-Marks</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is regarding napkin rings, but might apply. </p><p>So it seems best not to make reference to Kate Greenaway, just Victorian Girl.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
