Default A new way to Peddle FAKES!

Here you go, a scruffy bit of modern Kiddie Kraft felt backing cloth, seems to draw the bidders!

What heaven next?

I already got the rear sent, it's looped; so yes a fake. But do you mean the rest too.

Now if that was mine I would have put the piece of felt in the daughter's pet guinea pig cage for a fortnight to add some authenticity.

So, do you think the rest of it is suspect due to the felt thing?

Simon.

I'm bummed out and confused on all he has up. I'm tired of having to return stuff, I don't want to have to this back to the UK.
