A few replica badges have shown up on eBay this week, I am posting here because people are bidding $$$ for them.  Most contain obvious red flags such as "Telegraph & Telephone" or "The Bell Telephone System" and the modern clasp.  They are all from the same seller, A few replica badges have shown up on eBay this week, I am posting here because people are bidding $$$ for them.  Most contain obvious red flags such as "Telegraph & Telephone" or "The Bell Telephone System" and the modern clasp.  They are all from the same seller, toeachhisown-treasures:

Please enlighten us as to how they're fake.

I'd be interested to see comparison photos.

Posting the links will be useless after Ebay purges older listings. Photos with the Ebay information would be better

The intent was to alert people not to bid on fake items.  There is a topic that includes thes badges in the Signs and Ephemera section
