Here's Craigs Response:
I have just spoken to the company that made these, and you are probably correct … she’s going to be asking someone tomorrow, to confirm. But the markings are consistent with their products, so I am withdrawing it from the auction.

And, I accept your apology for being too harsh. Every auction cycle, one or two items slip through, but are always caught well before the auction ends.

I’m copying Vera on this, who will be sending out an email to the bidders. I will mention it in the next newsletter. Please feel free to share your experience with me, online … I can always use good feedback, to combat the lies of the “haters” who think I’m out to screw people over.

Vera: Please delete.
