and nun2sharp: that's all fine and good, but there IS a reason you pay a premium for eschers - the guarantee. sure, some vintage thurries might be as good or almost as good, but not ALL. but this guy was claiming it was an Escher and it sold for an escher price ($400).
Seeing as how the company has been defunct for some time now, I have to ask, what guaruntee? Correctly labeled or not it is still caveat emptor. I understand what you are trying to get at, but either way it is still a gamble, even among the different Eschers(many) there are huge differences.
