We had a thread a while back about fake enamels. Well, the same caution applies to tinnies. Check this out http://www.azzie.biz/catalog/index.php?cPath=21_22_32

Here is an example....

Cheers

The reverse really gives them away, originals are a mirror image, as crisp & detailed as the front....

Great Heads Up message. Thanks Don.
Frown Saddly tinnies have been faked for quite some time in my opinion.

Don, Good thing that the reverse is wrong on these or they would be real hard to tell the difference!

Oh I'm not disputing that Joe, it's just a bit of shock therapy to see them in one place like that & for only 5 Euros Mad.

Many other fake tinnies are a lot harder to spot I fear.... Frown

You could probably get those HJ tinnies for $15-$25. tops at any show in the US.

Just imagine what the next generation fake enamels/tinnies will look like Mad....
