Re: B Hood Handles
The original will have the manufacturer's name on the underside: "Huff".
The repro does not.

Re: B Hood Handles
I realize this thread is a few years old now. For anyone in the market in 2019, it appears that reproductions are now showing up with "Huff" and "6569" markings. I've seen at least oneSebastian Gaeta wrote:The original will have the manufacturer's name on the underside: "Huff".
