The fakes that are around are anything but good. Measurements are off,
weight is wrong, surface is wrong, logos are wrong in in some cases as
the site I referanced shows the material is wrong. I'd know because
I've used Griswold for more than twenty years and because I handle
enough of it in the course of my work to tell real from current fakes.
The pan I'd have the most concern with purchasing would be a number
13 that usually sells in the $1000-$3000 range depending on condition,
everything would have to be old factory catalog right about it. If a
good fake comes onto the market and neither I nor my business associates
are solicited to purchase it by the gross, I too stand a chance of being
taken.
