I found a Griswold PN 625 #282 is a shop today and cannot tell if it is genuine. The lettering is not as crisp as you would expect from a Griswold and it is tiny compared to the Wagner Tea Size Krispy Korn mold I had just bought. It is EPU and perhaps that explains the sloppy craftsmanship.
The same shop had a Waterman #4 bread mold and again, I cannot tell if it is genuine. There is no evidence of a bottom gate mark. I don't know enough about Waterman to say whether or not that is an indication of a reproduction.
I would appreciate any input as the authenticity of these two pieces and the value. The shop is moving to a new location and is willing to negotiate prices.
Thanks for your help.

I think I just answered my own question. Page 316 of the BB shown PN 625 associated with #262 and PN 630 being associated with #282. Seems like that makes it a reproduction or the foundryman had a very rough Monday morning.
Doug, Steve, anybody??
