This is not a vintage item. I have seen these being sold at gift stores and at folk art shows. This seller has long offered a melange of items, some indisputably vintage and others along the continuum of uncertainty. This item is at the "fantasy item" end of the continuum. It has modest decorative value only.
Fakes, etc.
I'll begin populating this page with photos of reproductions, fakes and fantasy items as I see them listed on eBay, Etsy and other such sites. Hopefully, collectors will refer to this page to minimize the occasions reproductions, fakes and fantasy items are unknowingly purchased. If you see something on this page that was sold to you purporting to be a vintage item, immediately send it back for a full refund.
