Bobye- Thanks! Stellar collection and information. - Cat Thompson, Mon, 12 Dec 2011 12:57PM
Thank you very much for this helpful overview. Only thing I'd like to mention is, that when I buy a piece of jewelry I do not get the chance to see a second one next to it, which would enable me to examine both pieces and see which one is the original and which one the reproduction. As I'm from Germany, I mostly buy on eBay. My first Eisenberg was a pair of earrings marked with the script letter E and an addition block letter E on the earring itself. Ever since I received it I wonder if these earrings are original. How can a newbie on the wide field of vintage costume jewelry ever be sure to buy the right thing?

I have the Trifari frog on the lucite lilly pad. It is marked Trifari and is silver pot metal. Is mine a repro? Thanks, Julie - Julie Hunt | vintagejewells.com, Fri, 30 Jan 2009 10:40PM
I have one of the original Eisenberg pin #65 on your site. Can you tell me any thing about it, and its worth? I have inherited a lot of vintage jewerly and know nothing about it. Thanks, June - June Skaggs, Sun, 8 Jun 2008 7:16PM
Absolutely a great resource. Thank you for helping all of us green horns. I really appreciate your sharing with everyone. I have learned so much from you in the short time I have been on JC and JR. Loretta - Loretta Rawlins | http://www.texas-jalapeno-shop.com, Wed, 24 Oct 2007 5:15PM
Hi Bobye - Great information! There is a seller on eBay selling most of the items I see here! And he lists them as original and for hundreds of dollars. Thanks for this - I wish everyone could see these and not get taken in! - Sandy Walker, Sat, 17 Mar 2007 12:48PM
THANK YOU FOR SUCH A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW. I HAVE SEVERAL PIECES OF WEISS AND LISNER I PURCHASED NEW IN THE EARLY 1960s AND SEVERAL EISENBERG PIECES PURCHASED RECENTLY. THIS HELPS ME BE AWARE OF WHAT I AM LOOKING AT FOR FUTURE PURCHASES. - PAT, Sun, 17 Dec 2006 2:11PM
