derwesten.de (German)

An antique apothecary device presented on "Bares für Rares" was immediately identified as a fake by expert Sven Deutschmanek. The item, brought by a father-daughter duo, was suspected by the expert to be a nebulizer, not a carbon spray apparatus as the daughter believed. Deutschmanek pointed out artificial wormholes and a pressed lid as indicators of its inauthenticity. The expert estimated the decorative item, likely from the 1970s or 80s, to be worth only 30 to 50 Euros. Despite the low valuation, a dealer purchased it for 80 Euros.
