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!   Also Listed in the Hats, etc.  Section. Final Sale Movie/Memorabilia piece.
