Default Real or memorex ??

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

1 I think it is real.

2 I'd like to illuminate it with a black light to feel better about authenticity.

3 A nickel seems like a lot of money for a kid to spend for candy around 1910 to 1915. I'd think mid 20s might be a better date. But I don't know. A nickel bought lots of stuff in in 1915... just read the back of a 1915 Cracker Jack and read what five nickels could buy. So I think his dating is optimistic.

Frank.
