<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 11855100, member: 3235"]There are most often many details that give such items away as reproductions - laser cut metal, not press cut, socket fixture & wiring (though of course may have been replaced), nuts and screws, etc. Over the decades, the repro pieces have been fine tuned to seem vintage. This in addition to the observations noted by others. For many of us, the best way to tell old from new is have one of each on a table in front of you - instinct always takes you to the old original, even newcomers to the world of collectibles can tell ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
