Hi Jim,
One way to tell if it's the original chrome version...the horizontal bars
(meaning side to side) are not perfectly round...they have a flat spot (as if
they were round & then squished) on both top & bottom. The stainless repops
are round. I've noticed some of the repops...they're just not built as
nice...some of the welds aren't as clean as the original.
Cheers,
Todd Bermudez
