For what it's worth, I saw this exact sign as a reproduction tin sign being sold at a low grade flea market this weekend. Seems to be about the same size as this sign. I would well imagine if they can print it on tin, they can do the same with cardboard.

While I confess to not knowing everything on period advertising, I have collected brewery advertising (many lithographs and advertisement signs) for the past thirty years and I can tell you this thing doesn't look right at all. There's a lot of fake crap out there, and there is definitely a huge difference in the period stuff. This is obviously a very bad picture of the sign in terms of it's resolution, but my guess is that if I saw it in person it would take me a minute to tell you to walk away from it as fast as you can.

I agree with Aaron, don't waste your money.

Good luck,
Greg
