I know there are cast iron eagles which are reproductions. How do you know if one is an original when they are being sold on ebay when you can't look it over up close? I know they are hand painted and no two are the same as far as coloring, but what about the casting itself? Are there measurements to go by? Are the measurements so close that you would never get an accurate report from someone over the phone? Are the reproductions poor quality? Are the reproductions as good as or worth as much as an original? I'm asking about cast only here, not the cement or fiberglass ones. Theres one on ebay that has been hot potatoed around between buddies there since Sept. for sure, maybe longer. They can't seem to get a bid or a legit sale and it always shows up again within a few weeks after it has been supposedly sold. I'd like to buy one, but not a bad one or from crooked sellers.

Hello Nedd,

We have a genuine cast iron Case Eagle here, also know it's full history, and therefore know for sure that he is an original . He measures 4 foot 6 inches tall overall. As you say the original ones have hollow legs, they also have a Serial No stamped inside one of the legs. I to would like to know for sure that what I was paying good money for was original, I hope that you are able to obtain one.

Regards

"Casey"

Is there one on ebay now? If so do you have the item number. I bought some cast iron ones that used to sit on fence post. Found out later they are reproduction ones. Guy would never reply back to my emails. A friend has an original but I never set them side by side to see any difference.

The best way to find out is to ask the owner the serial number on the inside since everyone of them had a serial number. Saw it on my friend that has one. it has to be split open the serial number is on the inside. jc

Saw one sell today in Marshalltown IA. Nice guy from NW IA bought it for $6000. If you can get them to split it for pictures real ones have hollow legs on the eagle. I think they stand just under 5 feet tall. Like 4"10" or something. I see more of them coming up for sale. The people who have them are passing on and few people who care about them are becoming less and less...If we can keep them from going overseas because the value of the dollar is less then half a euro...Hope you find a nice one.
