Authenticity: Both pieces feature the crisp, deeply impressed "NAFCO" maker's mark stamped clearly on the rear of the base (see photos).
Finish: Beautiful, authentic aged brass finish. They retain their original, untouched vintage patina in the crevices, highlighting the texture of the dog's coat. (We have left them unpolished as collectors prefer this, but they can be polished to a bright gold shine if desired).
