I have seen several P&L cups and ball sets for sale that look brand new. Am I to guess that these are not originals? The reason I ask is that they are hallmarked. There must be more to the story... On one site a video said they are reproductions, but how do you justify copying the hallmark?

The P&L hallmark still has an active trademark registration. David Haversat owns the Petrie-Lewis Magic Company.
Not all original P&L cups were hallmarked. They also manufactured cups for other companies. Simon Lovell told me that P&L manufactured some cups that were sold by Harry Stanley and Ken Brooke. I have never seen a set of steel P&L cups that were hallmarked. I don't know why that is the case.

I just visited eBay and saw several sets of P&L cups. I have informed David Haversat of their existence. I'm sure he will let me know whether they are genuine or not.

Bill I sent you a pm with the link to the video I mentioned. If he did not make these, that is a blatant copy-write violation. If David did make them, I will probably grab a set.

I just spoke to David Haversat, owner of Petrie-Lewis magic. These aluminum cups are legitimate. He started manufacturing them in 2015.
BTW, just a technical point -- this would be a trademark violation, not a copyright violation.

Bill, Thanks for the information - and the correction.
