Page 14 FEBRUARY 2, 2008 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<0>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES Just when you think you have seen it all, up pops seller MRHANOVR from Patterson, New York with his special twist on selling Tiffany. He listed a Tiffany lamp and shade on Ebay for $99,000 which should have been the first clue. The listing told of a Tiffany Studios tulip lamp and base. Early on it was determined that the shade was a fake and several e mails that were sent to the seller were forwarded to TiffanyFakes.Com and they told of replies from the seller stating that it" had been in his family for over 40 years and was purchased from a well known and very knowledgeable dealer in New York City". The next thing to happen was another revision to the listing that changes it to a Tiffany Iris shade and an "unknown base" with a starting price of only $49,999 this time. The third revision made it out to be just a plain old iris lamp and bronze base with no mention of Tiffany at all in the title. All of these revisions took place within 3 days. In the last revision he admits that " the tag was added later, however it was a period glass lamp made by another designer and not sure the base is original to the lamp". When asked to verify the purchase in New York City the seller answered "as I really knew nothing about the lamp as far as being real, I was just looking for information through other collectors by trolling the lamp on Ebay". Just makes you want to do business with this seller over and over again. GTGLASS STICKDORNANTIQUES   TEEKMAN2 DAVE_TIO     WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? On the left is the real thing with a Buy It Now price of $535. On the right is a reproduction sphinx with a fake patina, no quality workmanship and offered by a seller who has graced our pages before with other fakes and it has a Buy It Now price of $750     WHEELBOY02 ANTIQUE-FREE-FOR-ALL  This seller calls anything with brass or glass as Tiffany but admits that they are unable to locate a signature. Most likely that is because they are not Tiffany items.They are not guaranteed to be Tiffany but are guaranteed to be old and original. He also uses the PRIVATE feature and before you make a bid on one of his fakes, you should check out his 35 negatives or his almost 60 neutrals in just the past 12 months. A frequesnt contributor to this site and two of their latest are shown below. ANTIQUE-FREE-FOR-ALL ANTIQUE-FREE-FOR-ALL MORNINGLORIA PAINTEDCRATE "EXPERIMENTAL" Tiffany used an "X" to mark glass pieces that were determined to be experimental but it is very doubtful that all of the "X" marked pieces appearing now are genuine. Be very careful when bidding on or buying any of these pieces. LIFTED_CHEVY1 5PERIDOT GUISE-GIRL BUNCH OF FAKES The three pieces on the right are all the property of MSLD68. Not very original but very fake. Besides that they are ugly. >>>>>>>>>> MSLD68 MSLD68 MSLD68 AUCTIONSNEAPOLITAN CIRCLEDSALES They are back with another fake perfume bottle.

Missing is the goose, goat, elephant, lion, horse, cow, rhino, frog, hippo, fox, ram, swans, leopard, and donkey. The listing shows the base signature which can be seen on Page 1 with the Made In China label still attached. Someone has already bid $150 for the set of four.

They consigned a fake spider lamp that they tried to sell many times on Ebay to an auction house in Florida since they and all of their 30 different names have been permanently removed from Ebay. The auction house listed it on Ebay and it immediately came to our attention. The auction house was notified and they removed it from their auction. It will probably show up again and if you see a spider lamp, think fake. These people will stop at nothing to sell their fakes and they should know that we will be watching.   >>>>>>>>     TTVANHORN0 THE LAMP REVISITS This lamp was first seen approximately 14 months ago and is currently shown on Page 3 of this site. If you will notice, this photograph is the exact photograph that was used before. It is a fake and fraudulently signed Tiffany lamp and it was offered, but unsold, by a different seller but it appears to be in the same hands as it was 14 months ago. The current Ebay listing is 160218003953 and you need to visit it before it is gone. The new seller, TTVANHORN0 signed onto Ebay on March 10, 2008 and already the telephone number in Colorado for this brand new seller had been disconnected. Most likely the payment will be required to be sent to Atlanta. The listing says they will accept PayPal so do not pay any other way. If the telephone gets turned back on, you might inquire about any oceanfront lots they might have for sale in Colorado. Be very careful when buying from 0 rated sellers and make sure you know who you are dealing with.. It took a few days but Ebay has removed the listing completely and the account of this brand new seller with a bogus telephone number, has been suspended. Ebay does absolutely no due diligence and their customers are left to fend for themselves. This is a pointed reminder to never purchase an expensive item from a zero rated seller and is no different from sending money to a seller who has a record of not shipping. Think HRSNORTH GOOSE GIRL PLATE It is back again and this time it most likely has sold for a record $201.00. Available from AA Importing in St Louis at $20.00 each or 2 for $30.00. You can get 13 of them from AA for what one sold on Ebay. What a deal. DEPEWAUCTION DEPEW AUCTION - ATLANTA Just when you think Atlanta is free from Tiffany fakes, up pops another auction house with more fakes. On the left and on the right are their offerings. If an auction house does not know real Tiffany from fake Tiffany, what does that tell you about buying anything from them DEPEWAUCTION 4STYLE290 JANJANOFCOURSE46 1STDRDON DIAMONDJEWELS518 BLUEBLOOD101 DLMACTX JUSTSTUFF99 MARGPOTPER NUTTINBUTSCRAPSNOW The piece on the left is one ashtray from a set of four which were sold as a set of graduated sizes. This looks to be the largest of the set and someone - not Tiffany - has added a lions head to this piece and the seller is trying to sell it as genuine. No way. DEALINDARREL EASTHAMPTONAUCTIONS OB_LOCAL CODER220 ANTIQUELIQUIDATERS TWO NEW SIGNATURES On the left a never before seen acid etched signature and on the right is the signature used on the many fake belt buckles. The photos above are of a genuine Tiffany Studios Sphinx and the photos below are yet another offering from frequent contributor WHEELBOY02. See above on this page. First it was listed with a Buy It Now price of $750 and when that would not work, it was relisted again with a Buy It Now price of $250. The seller calls it "spectacular, solid bronze Tiffany Studios paperweight with a wonderful rich, dark, aged patina". Compare the top photos with the bottom photos and you will see a major difference in quality, workmanship, detail and it is easy to see that there is no comparison between the two pieces. Just another example of someone trying to take your money for a piece of junk. Know who you are buying from and ask questions. PAGE 15 IS NOW OPEN For more fakes click here for page 15
