I thought it important for you to know that in the last week I have seen several pieces with fake marks. Please check the source you are buying from and be sure you are buying from a reputable source that knows the material. Get a receipt that says what the piece is, with details and confirm that there is a return policy longer than a few days. I have seen a counterfeit "The Work of L&JG Stickley" mark on a bookcase and a die stamped mark on a couple of pieces of copper claiming to be Gustav Stickley. When values of objects go up there will always be those who try to get something for nothing. If you would like to discuss this please give me a call. Dave Rudd
