Well, I gathered that you didn't like it on a personal basis

Just wondering if you think it's original vintage or a reproduction...

A. It's hard to believe someone would reproduce these, as even the originals are very inexpensive. Why would someone go to the time and expense of creating that mold if they weren't going to mass-produce it?

B. It is well done in my opinion, the gator portion is true to the original, and it appears to have the correct aging and surface wear.

C. With regard to the "F" being poorly painted, I've seen a lot like this. These Quinco Banks were not exactly on a level with Stanford Pottery or even Gibbs-Conner.

So this one is a bit of a conundrum, IMHO.
