I was hoping to see some responses to learn a bit myself.
![]() With the Mantle, I think I'm adept at spotting obvious fakes and then there are examples that are pretty clearly good. It's the "tweeners" that are tough. I'm not quite sure what to think of the Micks with the sharply pointed tops on the Ms. I guess it could be real and just a more rushed style. But, I always feel more comfortable when the M's have a softer rounded top. If I recall correctly, the fakes sold through the Home Shopping Network tended to have the more pointed style M. Here is a page of UDA authentic Mantles. Most have the softer M, but a few are a bit pointed at the top. http://www.theswearingens.com/mick/autos.htm
