Our immediate reaction, too, on seeing that segment of the show was that the estimate seemed substantially high.
Although it's true, "ya never know at auction -- could go cheap, could go crazy."
Anyway, if it's a fantasy piece, it does look like a lot of convincing work went into making it. And is it unthinkable
that a real piece was made with a 24-page two-year (1917-18) calendar, or that once a single 1917 calendar was
exhausted a new 1918 calendar (from whatever source) might not have been attached as a replacement?
Stupid questions our specialty --
