BELOW shows the difference between the J.
PETERMAN comb and one of the fake knock-offs!
# 7618 - c. 1998 J.
PETERMAN COMPANY Titanic Butterfly Comb in Original Box with
COA! If you have loved these as long as I have (well over
10 years now!), you will know just how hard they are to find!
There are many knock-offs usually those selling for $10-$200, but
they just don't hold a candle to the ORIGINAL c. 1998 J. Peterman
Butterfly Comb! You'll notice the size difference first, and
then the number of comb teeth is another dead giveaway. These
cost $198 when new, and have held their value at over $1,000 for all
theses years. I've seen them sell as high as $2,000!
OK, so I'm stealing this info as it's quite informative: "The Titanic:
Butterfly Hair Comb is a reproduction of the one seen from the epic
motion picture 'TITANIC'! This is the only 'Titanic: Butterfly Hair
Comb' authorized for sale by 20th Century Fox. There were very
few made! Stamped on the
reverse with a '1998 Fox' stamp of authenticity. Even includes a
'Certificate of Authenticity' from 20th Century Fox. The
Tiffany-like Stained Glass Butterfly Motif is featured on this comb
with a brass oxidated plating with black, sea green and milky
transparent epoxy. The butterfly body is accented with an
adventurine cabochon and a black faceted stone. Adventurine is a
translucent greenish quartz mineral, that is internally granular.
Adventurine is often mistaken for jade, a valuable stone of green.
Cabochon is a domed gemstone - a highly polished curved surface
without faceting. Comes with the original satin lined
box stamped J. Peterman on the lid." A true collectible and a very recognizable
part of movie history. Who could forget 'Rose' (Kate Winslet)
wearing this timeless classic in her beautiful red-tressed hair! This comb
is in MINT condition only out of the box to photograph! The
box is slightly lifted on one edge (see photo). The
Peterman certificate has been laminated for safe keeping!
