That's interesting. Thanks deepseeker

Do you know if there are fakes?

I'm looking at purchasing this one, but it is considerably cheaper than one in your link, and other examples I have seen.

Cheers.

The ones I looked at did not list a metal content. But, being Chinese and their native ingenuity - if they counterfeit silver dimes, they'll counterfeit these!

If you're not going to lay out too much money, one or two might be one of those things unique to have. It's amazing the junk we accumulate and never let go

We do love our toys!

Take a magnet and scale, that will eliminate many fake right away.

They are heavily counterfeited so be careful.
