If these are genuine vintage items how comes some of the designs are often available? In Italy from the 1950s till the end of the last century, these types of items were produced in their hundreds for all manner of events such as weddings, christenings etc. They were extremely popular during the 1970s and 1980s, when wealthy families would gift them to each other or use them to make a good impression on their guests due to the figurines being made of silver and generally expensive to produce.
Nowadays they are not as popular because the few companies left producing them base the items on old models and often sell them at inflated prices. If these are genuine vintage items how comes they arrive in a packaging that looks new?Following our experience with our first customers, we thought it would be nice to provide each item in a gift bag. I never heard of Continental Silver 800/000, is this genuine silver?
