Thanks, Nick, detective that you are.
The major collections of Fabergé in the world are owned by the FORBES COLLECTION exhibited at their building in NYC, the Queen of England, and the Marjorie Merriweather Post Museum.
There are very few left in Russian museums.
Surprisingly, one of the outstanding collectors of Fabergé is Joan Rivers.
If indeed these are authentic, their value is off the charts.
The Forbes Collection sold off quite a few items last year.
