I have the opportunity to buy one of these (not this exaxt one) but something tells me they reproduced these. Did they? if so what is the real worth, i know the fake would have almost zero value

They were reproduced. I have sold the real deal. I will try to find a pic. Real one is dated 1917 with a stamp, dark blue porcelain, heavy/thick shelving. The repops are painted....
UPDATE..found the old auction number, 150726263013.
After looking at mine again, I would say yours is a repop, no screws on the front, no date. You look and decide.
UPDATE, the picture you show is an old eBay auction too. Someone paid for a real one, but got a fake.
