Picked this item up at a thrift store. Have no idea if it is authentic or just a remake. Weather it is antique or not I do not know. It has a made in Italy sticker on the back. However I think it will look great on my desk. Any ideas on authenticity or how to reasearch it would be of great help.

    I agree I thought it was a great find.

    IF ... IF ... it is a reproduction, it is a nice looking one. I would like to see it in person or at least better photos to check. As DDave said, enjoy.

    OK better photos I have a few more I can update later if you like. Tell me which portion of it you would like to see close up or what details to photo.

    That is very nice. My dad collects inkwells if you are ever interested in selling it I would love to purchase it for him to add to his collection.

    Apparently you didn't realize I was serious about it being "green man". Check out this website and compare some of the renderings.

    Excellent job in photos. The only other one I would like to see is the bottoms side. You can leave this as is and post a second listing of it to show more photos. A photo with the lids open would be good too.
