No way it's any good, same kind of material they have been reproducing for the last several years.

I passed.

I am not sure if it is true with all of them, but don't the real ones have two metal reinforced holes for hanging?

From Ohio again. I guess Ohio is now known for more than it's pottery.

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

Indiana and Ohio are both hot beds for uneducated scam artists who try and steal people's money with these fakes and reproductions. The sad part is, they often DO get away with it.

Living in Indianapolis, I try my best to report these theives to Ebay and to the Indiana Attorney General's Office or local Law enforcement. However, since I am not the one who is a victim AND the amounts are usually low dollar, the authorities don't really pay much attention to me.

REALLY SAD!!!
