Re: Counterfeit Dice
In Response To: Counterfeit Dice ()

Yup, They have every die for everything they have ever made going clear back to when Jack McMenneme owned it. The owners son is very involved in making all kinds of collector dice and he is a really nice guy. They are not collectors and see nothing wrong with re-making dice that they own the dies for. When you think about it, why should they? They are producing a product they have every right to make. The problem is the people who are ordering the dice, selling them to anyone willing to pay their price and then the re-sellers misrepresent them as originals. All new dice are made from cellulose acetate, most but not all very old dice were made from cellulose nitrate. Smell the dice, even in great condition the nitrates will stink. This is by no means fool proof if you are trying to tell fakes. Do not get nitrates near an open flame, they will go up like gasoline. Use common sense, if you see mint dice from 3 Pigs on Ebay week after week, they are reproductions. Buyer beware!
