I bought this second hand and I've never had a Polene before, so I'm not sure if this is authentic or not. I'm cleaning out my closet and don't have use for this, so whether it's authentic or not, I'm hoping that someone can put it to good use. This is not a model that's currently sold on their site, but I have seen authentic listings elsewhere for this larger version. Make offers!! Let me know if you have any questions Smoke-Free home
