Fake Fodor's Pins Spotted!

Can you believe it! I just about fell over when I saw them, but there they were, in the Straw Market in Florence! I had mine on and was able to compare and they were so close it was very difficult to tell unless you inspected them very closely. I asked the vender where he got them and he said someone from the states sold him one and that everyone would want to buy one if he made copies. He said he already sold about 100 in 4 days! Can you believe it! My mouth is still hanging open. He was charging $15.00, which I told him was way too much, but he said people were buying them and he would'nt go any lower. It's a strange world.! <BR>At least I have an original!

Sally, wow how did they make them so fast? Maybe Fodor's could contact them and have them make some better ones, if they were made in Italy they would have to be better!

Is he also producing envelopes that are torn & empty also ? There seems to be quite a demand for them !

Very funny since Rex just got back from Italy, I believe. Coincidence? I think not.
