nemlas Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 3:39 pm I think it is fake. The stars are way off for 1842. But the experts I am sure will chime in. Report this Post to the Staff

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 4:14 pm Definitely not my thing but don't some contemporary counterfeits go for high prices? Report this Post to the Staff

Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 5:33 pm At least it was not priced as a crash test dummy. Those cost 35 grand. Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 6:43 pm If it were still available I would be a buyer at that price. If Fortin has one in his collection it's not a bad novelty but a piece of Americana. Greer has one too. I have a few nice French counterfeits, but not as nice as this. It's blundered on so many levels. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Edited by thq 06/09/2021 6:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
