Authenticity Assessment:

The signature F. Spinowitz etched in script along the central lower trunk displays the exact hand-engraved line structure, loop lettering, and placement standard to Fred Spinowitz's Judaica productions. The dual-metal finishing technique (gilded leaf-shaped wax drip cups paired with a textured silver-plated root base) and internal hollow casting under the base are key markers of genuine Spinowitz Studio production.
