Expert: April Date: 11/11/2007 Subject: a question on original props
Question hello april. i love your site. i love to collect ill vintage anything. my question where can i get more info on props used on the show. i want to buy a some stuff on ebay but i dont know if its real. plz help
Answer Unfortunately, there is no tried and true method to tell fake memoriabilia from originals. My suggestion would be to contact prop companies in and around the Los Angeles area. Ellis Prop House in Hollywood is one I've heard much about. But even then, you really are just taking their word. Even when provided with COA's (certs of authenticity) it is truly buyer beware.
Unless of course, you have personal contact w/ people involved directly with ILL productions. Or family members etc.
Good Luck in your search. It is a fun hobby isn't it?
