Title: Fake Baccarat?
Post by: LesBeatiques on September 16, 2014, 04:57:13 AM

Hello all,

I'd be curious to hear some opinions regarding this weight:

It reminds me a lot of the fake Dupont Baccarat closepack detailed in the article "A Fake of a Fake" in the 2006 PCA Annual Bulletin pg. 36.

Or is this something else all together?

Hi Eric.  I am sure it is a modern Baccarat frigger.  I have seen several of these, some including (as this one does) at least one Zodiac silhouette cane, which suggests 1960s -1970s.  It is certainly not 19th century.
