Fabulous or Forgery-Judit’s

Judit asked if she has repro Shiny Brite Ornaments or the vintage gems. There are three elements to answer the question of forgery or fabulous? Tinsel, cap, and striping. The tinsel is not original and I’m guessing was stuffed to create dazzle or to give the appearance of rare. It can be removed with a tweezers. Multiple caps have been replaced and at least one is an incorrect size. (see arrows) Striping is an indicator of age and I’m not sure about the green and pink four stripe patterned ornaments in the third row. They are very uniform for authentic war year ornaments. The two ornaments without tinsel appear to be fabulous.
