I will try to post pictures tomorrow. Sadly I have a huge project that is taking up all my time so I can't do it today.
I also don't want to post it in the wrong place so I'll post it on the For Sale for Offers, Bids UnPriced. I'll let you know when I post it.
Thank you

Hi
Would you explain further? Are you saying Phillips repossessed them?

No! someone reproduced them,(had them recast) but in my opinion if they were well done does it make a difference? would you not buy?

Oh, ok.
Sorry I misunderstood.
If I am collecting, I personally would go for authentic. But there are those that buy what they like; and if authentic is not within their budget, they buy what they can afford.

And then there is the important fact that has been stated on this forum a lot: technology has made it harder in some cases to determine what is authentic. That's why collectors are so important and valuable; they can spot minor details that reveal/distinguish authentic from reproductions.

Interesting point if a base is recast and new will you pay less because new ? if a part is recast for a pump is the pump degraded,worth less?

The answer is yes . Always going to be worth more or cost more with original parts.

Tell that to the man who just restored a roman column or aqua display pump,or VMC 81 Royal Crown, ,answer is relative, cost will always be current market ,if you don't buy it the next person will.I will now get down off my soap box.

I have a restored Roman collumn pump with some after market parts because I could't find originals . In my mind and most other people would agree ,its worth less because it doesn't have all the original Parts .
