Old Classic: The Proud Tanuki Tsuba (aka. Dancing Skunk) - Humor


Recommended Posts

This was a popular fake back in the day.

Lots of these floating around, but they slowly floated away to be banished to many a closet or mistake drawer.

 

It seems someone found one. Maybe someone tarting it up a bit more than the average one.

Never the less,  AVOID.

If you have been hitting the Jim Bean and find it pretty, bring it home to your own mistake drawer.

Ah yes. I help moderate one of those groups.

When asked to do so, the head mod had warned me we would have see a lot of the "what did I buy?" posts.

 

Most aren't that bad, but there are some...

that I know will get the poster flamed out of the group if I approve it to the group.

Lets not forget these came in a variety of metals 

Curren's example on Jauce  https://www.jauce.com/auction/v1178415852    Is there no way we can tell the bidders to withdraw! :(

Two decades now of "Dancing Skunks". 

Milt Ong would make fun of these.

Now that Milt has passed,  I cannot look at these without mixed feelings that they are still on the market after his passing.

 

Convincing things that has probably scared a few collectors out of the hobby.

They don't look that horrible in photos, but they are a real landmine for newer collectors.

AVOID.
