Jim - interesting info about Brandt. As for this particular series of reproductions, it's very interesting to note that the manufacturer made several variations, and obviously didn't mass-produce. Jim's might be the only such example that was produced. Was this "limited production run" an attempt by the manufacturer to bleed these into the market as originals? I have no idea, but it seems like a clever thing to do. Incidentally, if anyone has any other exmaples like this, with the "long acorn" etch, I would love to photograph them. Please contact me.
