MartyYou know which are legit and which aren't by knowing what original pieces were produced in which colors, that means a good reference book. Knowing where the moulds went, which pieces have been repro'd, etc. is a matter of paying attention and taking notes when someone that has that info shares it. Some of that info is online, but much of it is not.
I know your swan toothpick is a repro because I know that Westmoreland never produced it in vaseline. I know it was by Summit because I have a list from the NWGCS that lists were the moulds went. Tools of the trade when buying glass for resale.
